Jesus Ipiña Sr.

Jesus Ipiña Sr., 70, passed away Wednesday, November 22, 2023, in the Company of his family at his home in Alamo. Jesse married his one true love, Blanca E. Ipiña, on August 2, 1971 in Traverse City, Michigan. Jesse and Blanca proudly raised their three beautiful children in Alamo. His pride and joy was his two-year-old grandson, baby Leo. Jesse was a lifelong Catholic and member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. He loved being around his family and present at all the birthday parties, pool parties, and barbeques at his son Noe’s home, always cheering on his beloved Dallas Cowboys. His favorite hobbies included the love of traveling, going fishing at South Padre Island with his sons and grandsons, swimming, and the love of his plants with his green thumb. He will always be remembered as a hardworking, strong man with so much faith at church every Sunday morning without fail. He was loved and respected as a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, grandpa and friend, and will be dearly missed. He is preceded in death by a sister, Juana (Esteban) Uribe. Jesse is survived by his loving wife, Blanca; his loving children, Jesse (Regina) Ipiña Jr. of Alamo, Noe (Sonia) Ipiña of Edinburg, Roxanne (Leonel) Salinas of Alamo; seven grandchildren, Noe Isaiah Ipiña, Jesus Ipiña III, Tristan Ipiña, Gia Jocelin Ipiña, Angel Noe Ipiña, Jolene Salinas, Leo Salinas; and 11 siblings, Rosa (Amador) Cuellar, Martha (Juan) Ocanas, Julia (Mario) Silva, Juan (Isabel) Ipiña, Pablo (Mary “Bibi”) Ipiña, Irene (Rey) Trevino, Linda Garcia, Connie (Larry) Ledesma, Angie (Joe) Miranda, Martin (+Orfelinda) Ipiña, and Robert Ipiña.
