Well, it is obvious that if you are reading this I am gone. While I have your attention, let me share my story. I was born in New York City January 25, 1950. My parents are Wilfredo De Jesus, who unbelievably, outlived me and is still alive at 95 years old and my mom Carmen, who is deceased. I also had a sister, Dory Hayes, who is deceased as well.In 1969, I met Gabriel Garza, a handsome young man from Texas and fell in love with him. We married after a 3 1/2 year courtship. After 3 years of living in upstate New York, I got pregnant with Lisa, my beautiful daughter. Later when Lisa was born, we relocated to San Angelo, TX. At first, I was reluctant to move but have come to love it. (It was also less expensive to live here than in New York). When we moved here, we were sort of a unique couple for west Texas. Me a "black" Puerto Rican and Gabriel a "white" Mexican. Some would even say, "What did he see in her"? However, when you came to know me, didn't you agree with him? I was a beautiful person. He would often refer to me as his "ROSE FROM SPANISH HARLEM". By the way, I was born and raised in Spanish Harlem, get it? When we got married, Gabriel told me I would never have to get a job, just be a homemaker. Hey, I was more than happy to do that! However, when we had to put a can opener on lay-a-way at Montgomery Ward, I thought, I had better get a job. I worked at a bank for a year and then joined Gabriel at GTE/VERIZON and worked there for 22 years, where I made many good friends that still remembered me after years of being retired. I guess it was my honest and witty personality that made an impact on them. While all of this was going on, my daughter gave birth to a handsome son, our only grandson, Jordan. We were fortunate to see him grow from a boy to a young man in our home. Additionally, we were blessed to raise in our home another beautiful daughter, actually my first cousin, Jessica. For someone who thought she would never have children my house was filled rather quickly. My greatest joy, though, was having served Jehovah God for over 50 years. By serving Him, I was able to witness to countless people in both New York and Texas. I came to be part of a family of over 8 million fellow servants of Jehovah around the world. In the beginning of my story, I mentioned that I was gone, but am not. While it is true I am not with "y’all" now, I continue to exist in God's memory, waiting for his call and I will answer (Job 14:15). That is when we will meet up again in a paradise here on earth, where God will “wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore”. (Rev. 21:4). My family and I would like to thank all the family, friends, and caregivers that were involved in my care both in the hospital and at home. Those family members that I had the opportunity to visit with in my last days have clear instructions from me…don’t let me down! Funeral services will be Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 2021 Pulliam Street, San Angelo, TX 76905.

I arrived January 28, 1943 in Brownfield, TX, by the first cesarean birth performed in Terry County, to my beloved parents Velma Mamie Holleman Warren and Tom David Warren, Jr. from Plains, TX. Growing up on the farm, in 1953, I exhibited the first reserved grand champion steer in the first Yoakum County Livestock show. Ten years later, in 1963, I served as executive director of the same livestock show in Yoakum County. I attended Plains High School and played football. The school won its first and then its second district championship in school history. Both years, the team advanced to the quarter finals playoffs. In 1966, I was drafted into the U.S. Army, advanced and ranked quickly to become E5 Sergeant, assigned to Viet Nam, just in time for the TET offensive in 1968 and served with an intelligence company located in the Macon Delta. During this time, as a courier, I traveled alone to MACV Headquarters Soc-Trang, Republic Viet Nam, picked up a locked briefcase while on assignment and then blended in with all the other Gl's moving around to hop a flight back to the Delta, sometimes taking two or three flights to get back. This company acquired the nickname "Sneaky Pete". My call sign was kgtiger. When home, served as commander of the American Legion Forest McCargo Post 585 from 1972 to 1980 in Plains, TX. Farming in Plains until 1979, I then went to work with Anderson Grain Corporation and managed three grain elevators simultaneously, one in Smier, Levelland, and Ropeville. I took a lateral move from the agricultural division to the lawn and garden division with Zipp Industries. In 1984, I married Jane Tiner Dawson on November 31 in Odessa TX. Six years later in 1990, we transferred to Scottsdale, Arizona and I took charge of the western division for Zipp Industries. In 1993 was appointed to the board of directors of the Arizona Nursery Association. In 1996, elected Man of the Year by the nursery association, and in 1997, was elected to chair the prestigious California Horticulture Committee, a part of the California Nursing Association. Retired from Zipp Industries on June 3, 1999 and wrote my memoirs entitled Meanderings. Moving to Prescott, Arizona as a real-estate agent, J also, as an avid historian, did a short stint as docent at Charlotte Hall Museum, plus served as vice president of Highlands Pine Homeowners Association. In 2003, Jane and I moved to Colorado Springs, CO where we were close to family and started Helping Hands, a food ministry, while attending Village Seven Presbyterian Church. Moving to San Angelo, TX in 2007, we attended St. Mark's Presbyterian Church where I became an ordained elder, and then later transferred to First Presbyterian Church to establish a local Angel Food ministry affiliate. With support from the community, the food service ministry became very successful before the Atlanta, GA headquarters folded. While in San Angelo, I wrote and published short stories which were picked up by churches, magazines such as Just Labs, and the local newspaper. I continued writing up right up until my death. Survivors: I leave my wife of 33 years Jane Warren; two daughters Jennifer Gwen Kenney of Hurst, TX and Leslie Jo Mendoza of Lubbock, TX; granddaughters Jessica Kenney, Woodlands, TX and Madison Mendoza, Lubbock, TX; grandson Brie Kenney of Dallas; nephew Paul Doyal, Houston and niece Shana Doyal Lane; step-daughter Leslie Schwager (Tim Schwager), Colorado Springs, CO, step-grandson Randy Schwager (Emma) and step-great grandson Bill Schwager, Boston; and numerous cousins.
