Jesus Nevarez

Jesus Nevarez was born on November 26th, 1945. He was raised in El Paso, Texas and joined the United States Air Force in 1964 at the age of 18. He served during the Vietnam Conflict and retired as a Master Sergeant after twenty-one years. He was a proud disabled Veteran and a patriot.

Shortly after his Military retirement, Jesus began his second career with the United States Postal Service, and remained there for 32 years, and retired in 2017.

Jesus is survived by his wife Ruth M. Nevarez whom he married in 1970 and remained with for 52 years, and his 5 children. Jesus helped to raise Ruth's two sons; David Morales and Hector O. Morales. He also had two sons and a daughter with Ruth; Jesus (Jesse) Nevarez II, Angel M. Nevarez, and Anthea D. Nevarez.

Jesus helped create a very close-knit family. He was a remarkable provider, and was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.

Jesus was a proud Grandfather (Nonno), to thirteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He took pride and pleasure in spending as much time as he could with his wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

He tirelessly worked to help and do whatever he could to help his family with whatever they needed. He never said no to helping in every way possible. He was always available, be it a ride, a few bucks, or aiding in heavy lifts like the personal issues that bring life to an absolute halt. He never gave up trying to help his family.

He spent his retirement always helping the family, working on his garden and yard, watching movies, and dining out as often as he could. He loved all the technology that has transpired these past years and continued to learn and use them all.

He lived a full life always trying new things. Jesus was a very good man of never-ending patience. He weathered the tough times that life hands us with grace. He was a tough man and was taken from our world without any warning. He will be missed.
