Jesus F. Ventura

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jesus Francisco Ventura, a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and faithful friend. Jesus was born to Francisco Ventura and Concepcion Saldana, whose love and guidance helped shape the kind, hardworking man he became.

Jesus shared 49 beautiful years of marriage with the love of his life, Leticia Ventura. Together they built a life centered on love, family, and unwavering commitment. He was a devoted father to Venessa Lynette Ventura Garcia (Aaron), Crystal Lynn Ventura, and David Michael Ventura (Shanah). His greatest pride was his family, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

Jesus is also lovingly remembered by his sisters, Gloria Saenz (Robert) and Esther Cardenas, whose husband, Cipriano Cardenas, preceded him in passing.

He was a proud and loving grandfather to Samantha (Jesus Alanis), Matthew, Lisabeth, Jonah, Madison, Ezra, Joaquin, and Elise. Whether cheering from the sidelines at sporting events or simply enjoying time together, his grandchildren brought him endless joy and were among his greatest blessings.

Jesus found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. He loved fishing, hunting, and gathering with family whenever he could. A loyal Dallas Cowboys fan, he rarely missed a game and enjoyed sharing his enthusiasm with those around him. Above all else, he treasured the time spent with his wife, children, and grandchildren, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

A dedicated public servant, Jesus proudly served with U.S. Customs for more than 20 years. His strong work ethic, integrity, and commitment to serving others earned him the respect of his colleagues and those who knew him.

Jesus will be remembered for his steadfast love, quiet strength, generous heart, and unwavering devotion to his family. His legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched and the values he instilled in those he loved.

Though he will be deeply missed, his memory will forever remain in the hearts of his beloved wife, children, grandchildren, extended family, and friends. May they find comfort in the love he gave so freely and in the many treasured memories they shared.
