Jesus worked as a Chef for many hotels, private clubs, and restaurants for over 40 years. He enjoyed for many years, long walks at Crenshaw Park Pasadena TX. So much so that he was well known at the park. In his final year he was very well known at his independent living community for his long walks. Everyone who knew him were well aware of his philosophy of how to live a long life, (wake up early in the morning, take a cold shower, and stay active.)

He was life long active member of St. Francis Cabrini Catholic church.
