Obituary of Jose Bonifacio Cervantes Aceves
Jose Bonifacio Cervantes Aceves, age 104, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones in Thousand Oaks, California on November 10, 2024. Born on May 14, 1920, in San Cristobal Zapotitlan, Jalisco, Mexico, Jose was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather. He is survived by his children: Joaquin Cervantes, Maria Elena Cervantes, Eva Hickok, Cruz Maria Madrigal, Jose Luis Cervantes, and Isaias Cervantes. His legacy continues through his 29 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great-grandchildren.
He now joins his beloved wife of 81 years, Maria de Jesus, and sons Vicente and Rejino in heaven, where they are surely embracing him with open arms.
In his lifetime, Jose exemplified the values of hard work and generosity. His life was punctuated with his love of being a cowboy. He rode bulls until his early 80s and continued riding his horse into his 90s. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and his spirit and legacy will live on in the hearts of his family and friends forever.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
