Jesus Cervantes was born on March 9, 1923, and passed away at his home surrounded by his children on April 25, 2024. Jesus was the last living parent, grandparent, and great grandparent of the Cervantes family and now he is their guardian angel and reunited with his beloved wife in heaven.
The family is forever grateful for the love that Jesus gave and the example he led. He provided the best childhood for his children and a large family to rely on. Jesus provided the family roots in two countries and gave them what they needed to live long and fulfilling lives.
Jesus lived an incredible 101 years on this earth and though we are broken hearted to lose him, we rejoice in knowing he is at eternal peace.
Jesus was preceded by his wife Juana and his sons Pete, David, and Salvador Cervantes. He is survived by his daughters Margarita Quezada (Braulio), Rosario Cervantes, Lupe Hoover (Roy), Maria Cervantes, Bertha Cervantes, and sons Gerald Cervantes (Anna) and Tony Cervantes (Bruce). Jesus also has 22 grandchildren, 41 great grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild, numerous nieces, nephews, and other family member.
The family would like to express their appreciation to Dr. Jorge Bautista for the care he provided. The family also thanks Roy, Ana, Linda, Eva from A1 Health Care for all their support.
