Jaime Giraldo Obituary

Published by Legacy on Aug. 12, 2025.
It is with deep sorrow and abiding love that we announce the passing of our beloved pastor, husband, father, and grandfather, Pastor Jaime Antonio Giraldo Sr., who went home to be with the Lord on Monday, August 11, 2025, at 11:50 AM.

Pastor Jaime Giraldo faithfully led the Lord's congregation with love, wisdom, and unwavering devotion to God's Word. His life was a radiant testament to the grace of Jesus Christ, and his legacy of faith will continue to inspire generations to come. While we grieve his loss here on earth, we rejoice in knowing he is now in the presence of his Savior-where there is no pain, no suffering, only joy everlasting.

Born in Yungay, Peru, Pastor Jaime was affectionately known as "Boliche" by his loved ones. He was the youngest child of Elias Giraldo Pajuelo and Celinda Vasques Canicoba. He was preceded in death by his siblings Mariscot Elias Giraldo Vasquez, Herminia Giraldo Vasquez, Zenin Luiciano Giraldo Vasquez, and Juan Inocencio Giraldo Vasquez. He is survived by his sister, Eufrasia Natalina Vasquez. He attended Colegio Nacional Santa Inés de Yungay, where he stood out as a talented soccer player, proudly wearing the jersey of the club La Suiza Peruana. Though he never had the opportunity to return to his homeland, he carried its spirit in his heart throughout his life. After immigrating to the United States without knowing English, Pastor Jaime defied the odds and earned his degree from Texas A&M University, becoming a civil engineer and architect. He used his talents to build churches and serve communities, always pointing others toward God's power and grace.

Pastor Jaime was the devoted husband of Ann Giraldo, his faithful partner and beloved wife of over 44 years. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, and unconditional love. They were blessed with four children: Jaime A. Giraldo Jr., Luis Garza, Jerry Garza, and the late Paula Garza. He was a proud grandfather to Victoria Giraldo, Viviana Giraldo, Jaime Giraldo III, Rene Garza, Brenda Garza, Aubree Garza, Jay Garza, Cassy Garza, Mark Garza, Jessica Montes, Celinda Sanchez and various great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.

Pastor Jaime Giraldo was a man of deep faith, boundless generosity, and quiet strength. He helped countless people through his ministry, his wisdom, and his compassion. Though he is no longer with us, each of us carries a piece of him in our hearts-his teachings, his love, and his spirit live on.

His passing follows that of his parents, Elias Giraldo Pajuelo and Celinda Vasques Canicoba, and his daughter Paula Garza. He leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and service that will never be forgotten.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 16th, 2025, at 6:00 PM. At Jesus Loves You Church, 310 Waters Avenue, Del Rio, Texas.

We welcome all who knew and loved him to join us in celebrating a life well-lived.

Ciertamente el bien y la misericordia me seguirán todos los días de mi vida: Y en la casa de Jehová moraré por largos días. – Salmos 23:6

Con profundo dolor y amor eterno, anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestro amado pastor, esposo, padre y abuelo, el Pastor Jaime Antonio Giraldo Sr., quien partió a la presencia del Señor el lunes 11 de agosto de 2025 a las 11:50 AM.

El Pastor Jaime Giraldo dirigió fielmente la congregación del Señor con amor, sabiduría y una devoción inquebrantable a la Palabra de Dios. Su vida fue un testimonio radiante de la gracia de Jesucristo, y su legado de fe continuará inspirando a generaciones futuras. Aunque lamentamos su partida aquí en la tierra, nos regocijamos al saber que ahora está en la presencia de su Salvador-donde no hay dolor ni sufrimiento, solo gozo eterno.

Nacido en Yungay, Perú, el Pastor Jaime era cariñosamente conocido como "Boliche" por sus seres queridos. Fue el hijo menor de Elias Giraldo Pajuelo y Celinda Vasques Canicoba. Le precedieron en muerte sus hermanos: Mariscot Elias Giraldo Vasquez, Herminia Giraldo Vasquez, Zenin Luician Giraldo Vasquez y Juan Inocencio Giraldo Vasquez. Le sobrevive su hermana, Eufrasia Natalina Vasquez. Estudió en el Colegio Nacional Santa Inés de Yungay, donde se destacó como talentoso futbolista, vistiendo con orgullo la camiseta del club La Suiza Peruana. Aunque nunca tuvo la oportunidad de regresar a su tierra natal, llevó su espíritu en el corazón durante toda su vida.

Después de emigrar a los Estados Unidos sin conocer el idioma inglés, el Pastor Jaime superó los obstáculos y obtuvo su título universitario en Texas A&M University, convirtiéndose en un ingeniero y arquitecto capacitado. Usó sus talentos para construir iglesias y servir a las comunidades, siempre guiando a otros hacia el poder y la gracia de Dios.

Fue el esposo devoto de Ann Giraldo, su fiel compañera y amada esposa por más de 44 años. Juntos construyeron una vida centrada en la fe, la familia y el amor incondicional. Fueron bendecidos con cuatro hijos: Jaime A. Giraldo Jr., Luis Garza, Jerry Garza y la fallecida Paula Garza. Fue un orgulloso abuelo de Victoria Giraldo, Viviana Giraldo, Jaime Giraldo III, Rene Garza, Brenda Garza, Aubree Garza, Jay Garza, Cassy Garza, Mark Garza, Jessica Montes, Celinda Sanchez y varios bisnietos y tataranietos.

El Pastor Jaime Giraldo fue un hombre de profunda fe, generosidad sin límites y fortaleza silenciosa. Ayudó a innumerables personas a través de su ministerio, su sabiduría y su compasión. Aunque ya no está con nosotros, cada uno de nosotros lleva una parte de él en el corazón-sus enseñanzas, su amor y su espíritu siguen vivos.

Su partida sigue a la de sus padres, Elias Giraldo Pajuelo y Celinda Vasques Canicoba, sus hermanos y su hija Paula Garza. Deja un legado de amor, fe y servicio que jamás será olvidado.

Ciertamente el bien y la misericordia me seguirán todos los días de mi vida: Y en la casa de Jehová moraré por largos días. – Salmos 23:6
