Odilon Tellez, querido esposo, padre, abuelo y amigo, falleció el 30 de julio de 2025 en su hogar en Ingleside, Illinois. Nacido el 13 de febrero de 1948 en Cotiro, Michoacán, México, Odilon vivió una trayectoria de notable valentía y determinación. Llegó a Estados Unidos en el año 1973 con el único deseo de construir una vida mejor para él y sus seres queridos. Gracias a su incansable trabajo en construcción y la jardineria, Odilon no solo hizo realidad sus sueños, sino que se convirtió en un pilar fundamental para su familia y una inspiración para muchos.
La devoción de Odilon por su familia fue inquebrantable. Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Guillermina, y sus hijos: Bobby y su esposa Gloria, Mere y su esposa Laura, Hugo y su esposa Alondra, y David y su esposa Marilyn. El legado de Odilon continúa a través de sus nietos: Alex, Azalia, Alyssa, Amaree, Emily, Andrew, Aaron, Allyson y Adelyn, quienes siempre recordarán la bondad y la fortaleza de su abuelo.
Apasionado por los placeres sencillos de la vida, Odilon encontraba alegría jugando a "La Zorra JiJi", un juego de canicas con tapas de refresco, y cuidando de sus queridos animales. Sus burros, vacas, gallinas, poni Browny y caballo Speedy no eran solo mascotas, sino parte de la familia, y su compromiso con mantener su jardín impecable era testimonio de su atención al detalle. El amor de Odilon por la música era profundo, y a menudo se identificaba con las melodías de Las Jilguerillas, disfrutando de canciones como "Mientras Tengas Corazón", "No Compro Amores" de El Palomo y El Gorrión y "Mira Güera" de los Hermanos Prado. Conocido por su humildad, su trabajo duro y su carácter cariñoso, Odilón fue un hombre que hacía amigos con facilidad y los conservaba con su genuina calidez. Su santo patrón, el Señor de la Buena Muerte, fue un faro en su vida, reflejando su gracia y serenidad ante los desafíos de la vida.
La historia de Odilón es una historia de perseverancia y amor, una historia que seguirá inspirando a quienes lo conocieron. Fue la personificación de la bondad y la amabilidad, dejando una huella imborrable en cada vida que tocó. Su memoria será recordada con cariño, y su espíritu vivirá en los corazones de su familia, amigos y todos los que tuvieron el placer de su compañía.
Al despedir a Odilón Téllez, celebramos una vida plena, un camino recorrido y un legado de amor y trabajo que jamás olvidaremos. La suya fue una vida que ejemplificó lo mejor del espíritu humano, y su memoria será atesorada por siempre.
El velatorio se llevará a cabo el viernes 8 de agosto de 2025, de 4:00 pm 8:00 pm, en la Funeraria Justen de Round Lake, ubicada en 222 N. Rosedale Court, Round Lake, IL 60073. La misa funeral se celebrará el sábado 9 de agosto de 2025, en la Iglesia Católica de San José, ubicada en 114 N. Lincoln Avenue, Round Lake, IL 60073, a las 9:30 h. Inmediatamente después, el entierro tendrá lugar en el Cementerio de Santa María en 22277 W Erhart Rd Mundelein, IL 60060. Para más información, llame a la Funeraria Justen al 815-385-2400 o visite www.justenfh.com, donde sus amigos y seres queridos podrán compartir recuerdos de Odilon en su muro de homenaje.

Odilon Tellez, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on July 30, 2025, at his home in Ingleside, Illinois. Born on February 13, 1948, in Cotiro, Michoacan, Mexico, Odilon's journey was one of remarkable courage and determination. He was a man who came to the United States on 1973 with nothing but the desire to build a better life for himself and his loved ones. Through his tireless work in construction and landscaping, Odilon not only realized his dreams but also became a cornerstone for his family and an inspiration to many.
Odilon's devotion to his family was unwavering. He is survived by his loving wife, Guillermina, and their children: Bobby and his wife Gloria, Mere and his wife Laura, Hugo and his wife Alondra, and David and his wife Marilyn. Odilon's legacy continues through his grandchildren, Alex, Azalia, Alyssa, Amaree, Emily, Andrew, Aaron, Allyson, and Adelyn, who will always remember their grandfather's kindness and strength.
Passionate about the simpler pleasures in life, Odilon found joy in playing "La Zorra JiJi," a game of marbles with soda caps, and caring for his beloved animals. His donkeys, cows, chickens, pony Browny, and horse Speedy were not just pets but part of the family, and his commitment to keeping his yard immaculate was a testament to his attention to detail. Odilon's love for music was deep, often resonating with the melodies of Las Jilguerillas, enjoying songs like "Mientras Tengas Corazon," "No Compro Amores" by El Palomo y El Gorrion, and "Mira Guera" by the Prado Brothers.
Known for his humility, hard work, and loving nature, Odilon was a man who made friends easily and maintained them with his genuine warmth. His patron saint, El Señor de la Buena Muerte, was a guiding light in his life, reflecting his own grace and composure in the face of life's challenges.
Odilon's life story is one of perseverance and love, a tale that will continue to inspire all who knew him. He was the embodiment of kindness and friendliness, leaving a lasting impact on every life he touched. His memory will be held dear, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of his company.
As we say farewell to Odilon Tellez, we celebrate a life well-lived, a journey well-traveled, and a legacy of love and hard work that will never be forgotten. His was a life that exemplified the very best of the human spirit, and his memory will be treasured forever.
