Jesus Perez's Obituary
Jesus Guadalupe Perez, son of Hermojeres and Natividad Montoya Perez, was born October 20, 1968, in Mexico. He departed this life Thursday, October 8, 2009, at his home, near Phillipsburg, Missouri, at the age of forty years, eleven months, and eighteen days. On December 24, 1994, he was united in marriage to Janie Juanita Martinez, and to this union one son was born. Jesus is survived by his wife, Janie, of the home; a son, Marcos Perez, of the home; a goddaughter, Brenda Reyes, of Conway, Missouri; his parents, Hermojeres and Natividad Perez, of Chicago, Illinois; three brothers, Jose Perez, Ismael Perez, and Octavio Perez, all of Chicago, Illinois; two sisters, Marguerita Perez, of Mexico, and Rosa Roderiquez, of Chicago, Illinois; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends. He was born and raised in Mexico and received his education there. Jesus then moved with his family to Chicago, Illinois, where he began working for a meat packing company. After he and Janie were married, they made their home in the Chicago area until moving to Phillipsburg, Missouri on November 1, 1996. Jesus first began working on the dairy farm that he purchased in 1999. Jesus was raised in the Catholic faith and had attended both St. Frances DeSales Catholic Church in Lebanon and Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Conway. He enjoyed being outdoors where besides working with his dairy cattle he also liked raising, training and riding horses. His family was very important to him and he especially enjoyed spending time with his son. Jesus was a loving husband, father, godfather, son, brother, and uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and will treasure the memories he made for his family and friends. Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday October 12, 2009 at St. Francis Catholic Church. Visitation will be Sunday evening 6-8:00 p.m. with a rosary starting at 6:00 p.m. under the direction of the Holman-Howe Funeral Home Lebanon, Missouri. Return to top
