Jesus Angel Cerda-Tapia

Jesus dedicated his life to his family and surrounded himself with the people he loved most. Throughout his life, he worked many different jobs, but his favorite was being a chef. Cooking was his passion and his happy place—his food brought joy and comfort to everyone around him. He held a deep love for California, where he created so many wonderful memories. 

Jesus was also a talented artist. When he was younger, he spent his free time drawing, losing himself in his sketches that reflected his creativity and calm spirit. Music was another big part of his life. He loved cruising around with his friends and family, windows down, showing off his sound system for everyone to hear. Those drives, filled with laughter and good music, were some of his happiest moments.

He took great pride in his interests and hobbies. As a devoted fan of Dragon Ball Z, Jesus especially admired the character Trunks. He loved quoting his favorite shows and had his own signature phrases that made everyone smile—like “come sebo.” He could recite nearly every episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Saved by the Bell, and his enthusiasm always lit up the room. His humor, passion, and energy made him truly unforgettable.

Jesus is survived by his wife, Yazmin Romero-Pacheco, with whom he shared four beautiful years of marriage, and by his beloved son, Angel Aaron Tapia, whom he dedicated his life to making every moment count, loving and supporting. He is also deeply mourned by his mother, Maria Guadalupe Tapia; and his three sisters, Gaby Navarro, Giselle Navarro, and Patty Peralta. Jesus was a proud uncle to many nieces and nephews who will forever miss his laughter, his kindness, and his big heart. 

He was preceded in death by his brother, Luis Felipe Cerda Tapia. Though he is no longer with us, we take comfort in knowing that the two of them are together again—watching over their family, making sure everything is okay, and smiling down with love.

Jesús dedicó su vida a su familia y se rodeó de las personas que más amaba. A lo largo de su vida, trabajó en muchos empleos diferentes, pero su favorito era ser chef. Cocinar era su pasión y su lugar feliz; su comida traía alegría y consuelo a todos a su alrededor. Tenía un profundo amor por California, donde creó tantos recuerdos maravillosos.

Jesús también era un artista talentoso. Cuando era más joven, pasaba su tiempo libre dibujando, perdiéndose en sus bocetos que reflejaban su creatividad y su espíritu tranquilo. La música era otra gran parte de su vida. Le encantaba pasear con sus amigos y familia, con las ventanas abajo, mostrando su sistema de sonido para que todos lo escucharan. Esos paseos, llenos de risas y buena música, fueron algunos de sus momentos más felices.

Se enorgullecía mucho de sus intereses y pasatiempos. Como un fanático devoto de Dragon Ball Z, Jesús admiraba especialmente al personaje Trunks. Le encantaba citar sus programas favoritos y tenía sus propias frases características que hacían sonreír a todos, como “come sebo.” Podía recitar casi todos los episodios de El Príncipe de Bel-Air y Salvados por la Campana, y su entusiasmo siempre iluminaba la habitación. Su humor, pasión y energía lo hacían realmente inolvidable.

Jesús deja en vida a su esposa, Yazmin Romero-Pacheco, con quien compartió cuatro hermosos años de matrimonio; y a su amado hijo, Ángel Aarón Tapia, a quien dedicó su vida para hacer que cada momento contara, amando y apoyando. También es profundamente llorado por su madre, María Guadalupe Tapia; y por sus tres hermanas, Gaby Navarro, Giselle Navarro y Patty Peralta. Jesús fue un orgulloso tío de muchos sobrinos y sobrinas que siempre extrañarán su risa, su amabilidad y su gran corazón.

Le precedió en la muerte su hermano, Luis Felipe Cerda Tapia. Aunque ya no esté con nosotros, encontramos consuelo al saber que ambos están juntos nuevamente, velando por su familia, asegurándose de que todo esté bien y sonriendo con amor.

La familia invita a todos los que conocieron y amaron a Jesús a celebrar su vida durante la visita el 8 de noviembre de 2025, de 1:00 PM a 5:00 PM, seguida de un servicio de oración de 3:00 PM a 4:00 PM en Northeast - Puente & Sons Funeral Chapels, ubicada en 14315 Judson Rd, San Antonio, TX 78233.
