He leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to his family. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
Born on December 29, 1967 in El Paso, TX, Jorge grew up as the fourth of seven children and was known as Thomas Manor’s el presidente. He was a rambunctious and playful child beloved by the neighborhood.
Professionally, Jorge spent three decades in boot sales as a salesman and general manager. He was a kind man who treated his employees and customers with dignity and respect.
Jorge loved spending time with his family. He was a loving brother to his sisters, always looking after them. He was everyone’s favorite uncle, as he was generous, playful, and a friend to all his nieces and nephews. Every Christmas, Jorge dressed as Santa Claus and brought everyone the gift they most wanted.
Above all, Jorge was the perfect family man. He was a loving husband for 31 years and was completely devoted to his two children and grandchild. He was there for every graduation, birthday, fieldtrip, award ceremony, football game, and any milestone no matter how big or small. He was the best husband, dad, and grandpa that anyone could ever ask for. Jorge’s legacy will live on through the great memories and the immense love that he left behind.
