Obituary

Jesus, 90 years old, born in Cottonwood, Arizona, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at his home in Tucson, Arizona, surrounded by his loved ones. He was the faithfully, devoted husband to Cecilia. Also, a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. Jesus instilled his values of honesty, devotion, integrity, faithfulness, and an immeasurable amount of love into his family.

Preceded in death by Parents, Paulino and Dominga; Brothers, Manuel, Paul, and Peter; and Sisters, Carmen and Rachel.

Jesus is survived by his loving Wife of 21 years, Cecilia; Daughters, Cecilia, Theresa, and Susan; Grandchildren, Bernadette, Anna, Marcos, Andrea, Jesus, Corina, Celina, Drago, Ceila, and William; and Great-grandchildren, Yasmeen, Emiliano, Kianna, Sedona, Danielle, Oliver, Jude, Laila, Daniel, and Raiden; Sister, Rosemary; Brother, Simon; Step-sons, Pete and Henry; Step-grandchildren, Colton, Ethan, Zane, and Josh; and many nieces and nephews.

Jesus worked as an electrical engineer, retiring in 1988. As a devoted single father, he raised his three daughters, living in California and Colorado, settled in Bisbee, Arizona, and finally Tucson, Arizona. He loved to travel, spending time in Las Vegas or Laughlin. He volunteered for many years at his church St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. Vincent De Paul assisting many families who found themselves on hard times. He tutored struggling math students weekly with kindness and patience. He was a stickler to his routine and schedule. He visited with his sisters and brothers weekly, like clockwork. After being a long-time bachelor, he met Cecilia at church (because she was sitting in his spot) and married in 2003. Above all that Jesus did in life, the devotion to his family never wavered.
