Jean Carlos Mendez Perez Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 13, 2016.
Jean Carlos Mendez Perez, 35, of Kissimmee, Florida, a native of Puerto Rico, was killed in the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He worked in sales at Perfumania, where he met his longtime partner, Luis Daniel Wilson-Leon, who was also killed in the shooting.

Perez's father remembered him as "dynamic." His sister noted that he loved spending time with his nieces and nephews.

"He was like a little kid when he was with them," she said.

When Jean Carlo visited his father and I he was always joyful and positive. He always had kind things to say. He was a sophisticated, intelligent and family oriented person and his creative way of being lives on in all who knew him. The Mendez family is one of the finest families in the entire world.

Denny and Jean,
My partner of 25 years and I are so saddened by this tragic event. You are both together for all eternity and partying with the others in heaven I'm sure.

I hope your familys can find some sort of peace in knowing that some day they will see you both again.

With love.

Although I didn't know you personally, I know what a great dad you have... From the 1st day UA and CO merged he came over with that great big smile, soft spoken voice and a caring family man quality..
I know that you must have been just like him, really easy to like and befriend. What hapened that night was the worst form of hate... Just know that the UNITED FAMILY in MCO are praying and will look out for your family in the up coming months. REST IN PEACE JEAN CARLOS.
