Jose L. de Jesus, 75, avionics technician, loving husband, father, "lolo"(aka grandpa), and uncle, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, April 6, 2014 at his home in Milpitas, CA. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in May 2013.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Thelma de Jesus and his three children; Piah de Jesus Wolf and her husband Robert Wolf of San Jose, CA; Dinah de Jesus Courtois and her husband Jean-Francois Courtois of Mountain View, CA; and Marilyn de Jesus of San Francisco, CA; his brothers, Francisco de Jesus and Atty. Solomon de Jesus of Lipa City, Batangas, Philippines; his 3 grandchildren, Christian Wolf, Sydney Wolf, Liam Courtois; several nieces & nephews, and many dear friends.
Jose L. de Jesus was born in Lipa City, Batangas, Philippines to the late Eusebio & Pilar de Jesus. He attended local schools and graduated from FEATI University where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
He enjoyed nearly 5 decades of a fruitful career in which he became an inspiration to many. It began with 16 years at PAL(Philippine Airlines) then followed by a great opportunity for employment at Saudi Arabian Airlines and to be able to bring his family with him. After 11 years of working in Saudi Arabia, he and his wife decided to move the family back to the Philippines where the children continued their education. Another exciting opportunity came in 1992 where the entire family immigrated to the United States. In California he worked for Chevron Air Services in San Francisco airport and Kaiser Air Inc. in Oakland airport.
Memorial services are to be held at the Lima Family Mortuary Milpitas-Fremont on Saturday April 19 from 4pm - 11pm and Sunday April 20 from 10am to 10pm. The Funeral Mass will be at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Milpitas on Monday April 21 from 10-11am.
