Jesse H. Delgado

Jesse worked in construction most of his life not only in Corpus Christi but in various cities and states. Including a time spent on the Gentry Farms where he cared and showcased quarter horses. Jesse never met a stranger and he always made you feel at home and as if you were part of the family. He is fondly known for his cooking and the wild stories of how he made it but never gave out his recipes. He loved to be the life of the party and always made everyone laugh. He was known to many as the man in the garage as he loved his man cave. You could find him there any day or time.

Jesse loved kids and they him. They always seemed to find him and he would always ask to touch them as he was known for his strong ojo.

Jesse is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Freddy; and various other family members and friends.

He leaves behind to cherish his memories his wife of 27 years, Marta Chavez; a son, Jesse Hector Delgado Jr.; daughter, Jessica Delgado Hernandez; six sisters, Janie (Pete) Sauceda, Rebecca Diaz, Beatriz, Brenda, Rachel Delgado, and Sandra Ortiz, many nieces and nephews

A special thank you to his buddies Tomas Chavez, Rene Vela, and Bob Lavender who would always made his day.
