Jesus Perez-Guillermety

He passed away at 6:05 pm on January 1, 2025 after many years of courageously battling with pulmonary fibrosis. Throughout his battle he showed exceptional strength and his faith in his Lord never wavered. We take solace in the fact that he is resting at peace.

We will forever cherish the memories of his adventurous spirit and great sense of humor.
