Actor Jesse Nilsson 1977 - 2003

Adventure Inc. cast member Jesse Nilsson died of heart failure on Saturday,
April 26, 2003, at his parents’ home in North York, Canada.

A lifetime asthmatic, he had been suffering from pneumonia for the two weeks
prior to his death but was on the road to recovery.

"He had been diagnosed with pneumonia a few weeks ago and was supposed to take
it easy, and he was taking it easy and starting to feel a little better. We
were all happy because we thought he was going to be OK and was getting
better," said Nilsson’s brother, Cameron Fraser.

Nilsson, 25, starred as Gabriel Patterson on Adventure Inc., the Fireworks
Entertainment/Tribune Entertainment produced action hour. In the show, the son
of a Senator, Patterson left the affluent world of politics to embark on a
career working as a member of Judson Cross’ (Michael Biehn) team, Adventure
Inc., who travels all over the world in search of treasures and solving
mysteries.

Co-executive producer Adam Haight said they chose Mr. Nilsson for the role
because of his looks and youth.

"We looked at a number of guys and we cast Jesse in the last throes before
production began. There was something very handsome and very youthful about
him, so we jumped on him. Jesse just seemed to fit that role kind of well."

Mr. Nilsson is survived by his mother, father, sister, and brother.

He was remembered in a service on Thursday, May 1, 2003, at the Jerrett Funeral
Chapel in Toronto.

Friend its not old news when you only found out the other day.

This posting was copied from the "Adventure Inc." web page after I saw an
obituary on the last show of the season.

Ever watch on the OSCARS when they show who died that year? I always see one
or two folks who's death I didn't know about.
