In Loving Memory of Jaime Dueñas Cruz

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Jaime Dueñas Cruz.

Jaime was born on December 22, 1972, in San Juan de Abajo, Nayarit, Mexico, to Trinidad Dueñas and María de la Cruz Cruz. He was the seventh of nine children. He was preceded in death by his siblings, Juan and Edelmira, and is lovingly remembered by his siblings Andres, Evelia, Manuel, Gustavo, Emma and Armando. Jaime was a wonderful son, brother, and father, and his love for his family was felt by all who knew him.

Jaime's greatest joy was being the father of his two children, Jaime Dueñas Yescas and Gladys Dueñas Yescas, whom he shared with Gladys Yescas González. He loved them deeply, and they will always carry his love and memory in their hearts.

Jaime loved music and had a gift in the kitchen. He was an excellent chef whose meals brought family and friends together time and time again. Known for his kindness and his quick sense of humor, he was loved by everyone who crossed his path, from his coworkers to his closest friends and family. He had a way of making people smile and feel welcome, and that warmth is something all who knew him will never forget.

Jaime will be remembered for the love he shared with his family, the friendships he made throughout his life, and the memories he leaves behind. Although he is no longer with us, his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

May he rest in eternal peace.

Es con profunda tristeza que anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestro querido Jaime Dueñas Cruz.

Jaime nació el 22 de diciembre de 1972 en San Juan de Abajo, Nayarit, México, hijo de Trinidad Dueñas y María de la Cruz Cruz. Fue el séptimo de nueve hermanos. Le precedieron en la muerte sus hermanos Juan y Edelmira, y deja para recordarlo con cariño a sus hermanos Andres, Evelia, Manuel, Gustavo, Emma y Armando. Jaime fue un hijo, hermano y padre maravilloso, y el amor que sentía por su familia lo sentían todos los que lo conocían.

La más grande alegría de Jaime era ser padre de sus dos hijos, Jaime Dueñas Yescas y Gladys Dueñas Yescas, a quienes tuvo junto a Gladys E. Yescas González. Los amó profundamente, y ellos siempre llevarán su amor y su memoria en el corazón.

Jaime amaba la música y tenía un don para la cocina. Era un excelente chef cuyos platillos reunían una y otra vez a familiares y amigos. Conocido por su bondad y su gran sentido del humor, fue querido por todos los que lo conocieron, desde sus compañeros de trabajo hasta sus amigos más cercanos y su familia. Tenía la capacidad de hacer sonreír a la gente y hacerla sentir bienvenida, y esa calidez es algo que quienes lo conocieron nunca olvidarán.

A Jaime se le recordará por el amor que compartió con su familia, las amistades que forjó a lo largo de su vida y los recuerdos que nos deja. Aunque ya no está con nosotros, su memoria vivirá para siempre en el corazón de todos los que lo conocimos y amamos.

Que en paz descanse.
