Jesse L. Ochoa was born February 13, 1939 in Huntley, Wyoming to Margarito and Petra (Rosales) Ochoa. When he was an infant, the family moved to Broadwater. He attended school in Broadwater. After leaving school, he began working on the family farm. He enjoyed growing the beans, beets, corn and raising the animals.
In 1984 he moved to Oshkosh and began working on making chairs, working for a few years and the Lisco fish farm, and many years working for Don Bentley before retiring.
He will fondly be remembered as a good gentle man. He enjoyed Nebraska football, tinkering in the yard, growing a huge garden, and taking care of his siblings and friends. His greatest love was farming and had a deep connection to the land.
He is survived by his siblings, Julia Ochoa, Pauline (Ed) Tafoya, Patsy Maestas, Joe (Aiko) Ochoa, and Inez Ochoa, and many nieces and nephews and other extended family.
Jesse was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, Phyllis (Joe) Biberos, Amador (Nellie) Ochoa, Emiliano Ochoa, Victor (Inez) Ochoa, Steve (Linda) Ochoa, Robert Ochoa, nephew Michael, brother-in-law, Henry Maestas, and other family members.
