Obituary for MOLINA


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday January 31, 2010

Jesse James Molina went to be with our Lord peacefully at home on Thursday, January 28, 2010. Jesse touched and blessed many lives in his short 18 year journey with us and will be missed dearly. His steadfast courage, unforgettable smile, love for life, care and concern for others were just a few of his wonderful strengths. Jesse will be a 2010 graduate of Rio Rancho High School where he enjoyed learning and sharing his knowledge with his classmates and teachers. He also worked as a part-time intern at True Value Hardware and Dollar Tree. In 2006 Jesse attended the loving setting of Imus Ranch in Ribera, NM for desperately ill children where he gained strength in battling his life-changing events. Jesse has been an inspiration to all those he touched and has left a legacy of strength and love that will live within us forever. Jessie is lovingly survived by his mother and step-father, LaRae and Art Cruz of Rio Rancho, NM; his father James Molina of Albuquerque; sister Deserae Molina; niece, Nevaeh Chavez; nephew Giovanni Ortega of Rio Rancho; his grandparents Roy and Judi Morris of T or C, NM; Leonela Molina of Albuquerque, Robert and Mary Ann Cruz of Rio Rancho; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, classmates, teachers and a host of friends. In remembrance of Jesse a "Celebration of Life" will be shared on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel of Daniels Family Funeral Services-Alameda Mortuary.
