Hello,
We wanted to let your family and friends know that we are sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Jesus A. Leon-Perez US Army Private 1st Class.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

While I was sitting at work this morning, Leon-Perez came across my mind. I was attached to the same unit in Iraq and remember how the incident impacted me then and still does today. He was a great soldier! Miss you, man!

It has truly been my honor to sign Jesus' guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Jesus will always be remembered in my home.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Jesus, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Jesus you and Alicia were good friends and attended Senior Prom together in May '03. We are very proud of you and for all of your accomplishments during your Army service. We are very proud of you, Jesus for putting yourself on the line to protect us and Our country, I'm sadden by the fact that you lost your life at such a young age, you were taken way too soon from all of us that loved you very much. Jesus, may you rest in peace and know that you will always be our HERO. You will forever be in our hearts and prayers.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

The picture of Jesus Antonio Leon-Perez is on the American flag at St. Cecilia's Church. I am one of the sacristans there, so I was there at his Mass. His Mass was a beautiful tribute to his courage and accomplishments. His medals and commendations showed what an awesome young hero he is. I will never forget him. I am sorry I never got to meet him and thank him for his service. I thank his family for their sacrifice. God bless you.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Leon-Perez family in the loss of Jesus.. I did not know Jesus, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. Jesue, it has been a little over a year since you were taken. You are a hero and will never be forgotten.

Psalm 23
1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!
My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!

We are saddened by his passing, and even though we never received the opportunity to meet him -- we express our gratitude that he gave is life to defend our Nation and to therefore make it a better place to live. There is nothing more honorable than a sacrifice such as that. May God be with the family during their time of loss and always.

My granddaughter Alicia Roemer, went to the Senior Prom with Jesus, My heart goes out to his mom, I too lost a son just last month. Alicia had talked about him many times to me and that he (Jesus) had talked to her last week that he looked forward to going to Germany next month and that he was to be married this summer. May god give you peace, Love and may god remain with you forever.

What can I say about Jesus, a very close friend of mine. He was one of the most caring people I ever knew, he was always there for his friends, he put their interests above his own. He would give you the shirt off of his back if it meant you would be better off. We will always remember our friend, and never forget. I say we always have to remember the good times, and with Jesus that isn't very hard to do, there were never any bad times.
