Jesus Rodolfo Tapia

August 19, 1944 — November 30, 2025

Nogales

Jesús Rodolfo Tapia, un amado padre, esposo y amigo, partió de este mundo el 30 de noviembre de 2025, a la edad de 81 años. Nacido el 19 de agosto de 1944, Jesús vivió una vida vibrante y llena de propósito, dejando una huella indeleble en todos los que tuvieron la suerte de conocerlo.

Durante más de 30 años, Jesús se dedicó por completo a su carrera como despachador de productos agrícolas, donde su sólida ética de trabajo y dedicación eran evidentes para todos sus compañeros. Se enorgullecía enormemente de su trabajo y encontraba alegría en el simple hecho de asegurar que los productos frescos llegaran a quienes los necesitaban. Pero más allá de su labor profesional, fue su cálida personalidad lo que realmente lo definió.

Jesús era un hombre de presencia fuerte e inconfundible. Su mirada intensa a menudo se suavizaba con un corazón amoroso, lleno de compasión por su familia y amigos. Conocido como un verdadero bromista, llenaba de risa y alegría cada reunión, creando con naturalidad un ambiente de alegría. Hacía que cada cumpleaños fuera especial, deleitando a sus seres queridos con su singular interpretación del "Feliz Cumpleaños", una tradición que resonará por siempre en los corazones de quienes celebraron sus cumpleaños en su ausencia.

En su tiempo libre, Jesús encontraba pasión en ver béisbol, cuidar sus plantas y disfrutar del calor de unas carnes asadas rodeado de sus seres queridos. Su hogar era su santuario, donde atesoraba los momentos sencillos compartidos con su amada esposa, Irene N. Tapia. Su vínculo era un testimonio de amor y compañerismo, una relación cimentada en sonrisas, risas y recuerdos preciados.

Jesús deja un legado de amor, fortaleza y alegría. Le sobreviven su devota esposa, Irene; su hijo, Jesús R. Tapia Jr.; sus hijas, Haydee Tapia Escárcega, Irma Helena Tapia Pompa y Michelle Tapia Quiroga; así como sus hermanos, José Luis Tapia y Víctor Manuel Tapia, y sus hermanas, Irma Alicia Tapia y Elvia Tapia. Fue el orgulloso abuelo de 13 nietos y un cariñoso bisabuelo de 7 bisnietos, quienes lo acompañarán en su camino.

La familia invita a todos a celebrar la vida de Jesús Rodolfo Tapia. El velatorio se llevará a cabo el 8 de diciembre de 2025, de 17:00 a 21:00 h, en la Funeraria Martínez de Nogales, Arizona. Se rezará el rosario esa misma noche a las 19:00 h. La misa se celebrará el 9 de diciembre de 2025, en la Iglesia Católica del Sagrado Corazón, a las 14:00 h.

Aunque Jesús haya dejado este mundo, su risa, su amor y su extraordinario espíritu vivirán por siempre en los corazones de quienes lo conocieron. Fue un verdadero faro de luz, profundamente amado y recordado con cariño.
