Jesus Ernesto Ponce, at the ripe old age of 100 passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on January 2nd, 2019. He passed in song as his family sang for our heavenly father to open the gates of heaven for his new angel. He lived his life for his family, a man of strong faith and morals. He lived his life with honor. He lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures. He enjoyed reading, writing, gardening and watching his family grow. He enjoyed playing with his grandchildren, the favorite for the grandchildren was always the tickle song ‘Don Juan esta Sordo..’
He was born with the soul of a poet and the heart of a warrior. He was an example of strength, perseverance and wisdom which he bestowed on his daughters. The epitome of unconditional love and his legacy will live on through his large, loving family.
