Jesus Monarrez Peña, age 91, died on Thursday, November 14, 2024, at his residence in Liberal, Kansas.
He was born on October 15, 1933, in El Oro, Durango, Mexico, to Mariano Monarrez Diaz and Aurelia Peña Barron.
Jesús was united in marriage to Gregoria Sánchez de Monarrez on August 15, 1954, in Indé, Durango, Mexico. He was a proud father of four children, Adam, Martin, Jesus and Victor, and six daughters, Eva, María Concepcion, María del Carmen, María Gregoria, Yesenia and Ludivina.
As a self-employed farmer, Jesús dedicated his life to caring for the land and supporting his family. Throughout his life, Jesus poured his heart into everything he undertook. He took pride in tending crops and livestock, and in the rewards of hard work.
Jesus enjoyed horse racing and the joy and excitement they brought. His favorite pastime was opening the doors of his pool hall, “El Recreo del Campesino,” for his friends and residents of La Puerta de Cabrera, after a long and arduous day of work. He found joy in creating a welcoming place where he was called Don Chuy or Chuy and the entire community knew him. However, perhaps his most treasured moments were those spent with his grandchildren. Jesus delighted in creating special memories with them, sharing stories and laughter. Jesus was a loving and affectionate husband and father to his children. He will always be cherished in the hearts of his loving family, who will carry the lessons of kindness, effort and devotion that he demonstrated throughout his life.
He is survived by his wife, Gregoria Sanchez de Monarrez of Liberal, Kansas,

Jesús Monarrez Peña, de 91 años, falleció el jueves 14 de noviembre de 2024 en su residencia de Liberal, Kansas.
Nació el 15 de octubre de 1933 en El Oro, Durango, México, hijo de Mariano Monarrez Diaz y Aurelia Peña Barron.
Jesús se unió en matrimonio a Gregoria Sánchez de Monarrez el 15 de agosto de 1954, en Indé, Durango, México. Era un orgulloso padre de cuatro hijos,
Adán, Martín, Jesús y Víctor, y seis hijas,
Eva, Maria Concepcion, María del Carmen, María Gregoria, Yesenia y Ludivina.
Como agricultor autónomo, Jesús dedicó su vida a cuidar la tierra y mantener a su familia. A lo largo de su vida, Jesús derramó su corazón en todo lo que emprendió. Se enorgullecía de cuidar los cultivos y el ganado, y de las recompensas del trabajo duro.
Jesús disfrutó de las carreras de caballos y del gozo y la emoción que traían. Su pasatiempo favorito era abrir las puertas de su billar, “El Recreo del Campesino,” para sus amigos y pobladores de La Puerta de Cabrera, después de un largo y arduo día de trabajo. Encontraba alegría en crear un lugar acogedor donde lo llamaban Don Chuy o Chuy y toda la comunidad lo conocía. Sin embargo, quizás sus momentos más preciados fueron los que pasó con sus nietos. Jesús se deleitaba en crear recuerdos especiales con ellos, compartiendo historias y risas. Jesús fue un esposo y padre amoroso y afectuoso para sus hijos. Siempre será apreciado en los corazones de su amada familia, quienes llevarán las lecciones de bondad, esfuerzo y devoción que demostró a lo largo de su vida.
