Jesse was born November 23, 1931 in Thorndale, TX to Calentino Pesina and Paulina Pena. He was a hardworking, strong willed man who could do anything he set his mind to do. He worked many years as a ranch hand caring for horses and cattle. Jesse loved dancing across the floor to Spanish music. He was a simple but active man who enjoyed his life with his family and will be dearly missed.
Jesse would travel across to Texas to visit each of his children and their families. Each visit was always a celebration with a homemade meal made by his children. His daughters in the kitchen, his sons on the BBQ pit and his grandchildren entertaining him. The air was filled with Spanish music and a multitude of cameras flashing to capture these moments. His favorite quote was “Lordy, Lordy, Lordy.”
Mr. Pesina is survived by his brothers Steve Pesina, Chanillo Pesina; his sisters Romona Pesina, Mary and Tm Zambrano; his 2 sons Jesse and Janie Pesina, Frank Pesina; his 4 daughters Guadalupe Castillo, Mary Pesina, Frankie and Danny Santiago, Rosie and David Santiago; 23 Grandchildren, 50 Great Grandchildren and 1 Great Great Grandchild.
He is preceded in death by his daughter Estella Pesina.
