Jesse is survived by his wife, Celena; three daughters, Celest, Candace, Chelsea; two sons, Anthony and Austin; two grandchildren, Logan and Alice; mother, Laura; father, Jesus; stepmother, Nereida; siblings, Vanessa, Sabrina, Cassandra, Jason, and Oscar.
Jesse was born on February 8, 1975, in Brownsville, Texas to Jesus Rios and Laura Gutierrez. He graduated from Pace High School in 1994. He married Celena Hernandez, his high school sweetheart, in 1998. Jesse lived in Rio Hondo, Texas, with Celena and their four children. He enjoyed the outdoors, good food (especially twinkies), and good times with his family. His family will miss his great sense of humor, hardworking attitude, and his late-night food runs with the kids (don’t tell mom). He will forever live in our hearts and in our lives.
A visitation is scheduled from 11am-7pm on September 26, 2016 with a service to follow at 7pm at Buck Ashcraft Funeral Home in Harlingen, Texas. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Jesse's life.
