José de Jesús Muñoz, a dedicated family man, lifelong entrepreneur, and passionate world traveler, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 26, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. He was 70 years old.
José was the proud father of five children: Aracely, Abraham, César, Yomaira, and Iván Muñoz, and the cherished grandfather of ten grandchildren: Denisse, Christian, Edgar, Diego, Alina, Regina, Ximena, Landon, Isabella, and Penélope.
