Jesus Perez Obituary
Age 77, lifelong resident of Chicago’s South Chicago–Bush neighborhood, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 24, 2025. Born on January 26, 1948, Jesus was a man of quiet strength, gentle presence, and a warm smile that he shared generously.
Beloved husband of Amparo Perez (née Velazquez), with whom he shared many years of companionship and family life.
Cherished father of Norma, Jesus, Yadira, Sally, Julio, Yesenia, and the late Patricia Perez. A quiet man with a kind smile, Jesus offered his family steadiness and a calm presence that will be deeply missed.
A proud and caring grandfather to many, he found great joy in the laughter and closeness of his growing family.
Jesus will be remembered for his gentle nature, humble spirit, and the warmth he brought into the lives of those around him. His memory will remain a blessing to his family and friends.
