His hobbies included music, poetry, & literature - with music being his greatest passion. These were intrinsic to his nature.

Jesus' home was always filled with music, laughter, and love. He accumulated an extensive collection of tapes, CDs, and vinyl records. He  cherished his time spent listening to music with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, playing his cherished selections for all visitors.

Devoted to his Catholic faith, Jesus found solace and community in numerous parishes throughout his later years.

Jesus was preceded in death by his parents, Jacobo Garcia and Catalina Arcos, his daughter Thelma Gonzalez, and his grandson Jesús Javier Garcia.

Jesus will be remembered for his unwavering kindness, his gentle spirit, and his boundless generosity. His legacy of love and dedication to his family, friends, and community will continue to inspire all who knew him.
