Jesus Vega Martin-Peñasco

Jesus Vega Martin-Peñasco, born August 3, 1953, in Valdepeñas, Spain, entered into the loving embrace of Our Lord on November 14, 2025.

In 1982, at the age of 30, Jesus moved from Spain to the United States with his wife, Angie Martin-Peñasco. A devoted and hardworking man, he took great pride in providing for his family. During his years at St. Vincent’s Hospital, he received multiple awards recognizing his dedication and exemplary service. He later worked as a truck driver for Dean Foods until declining health led to his retirement.

Jesus cherished his time at home—relaxing, enjoying good food and wine, and savoring a quiet cigarette. He took special delight in caring for his vehicles, washing them whether they needed it or not. He also treasured traveling to Spain with Angie to visit loved ones. One of his fondest memories was a trip to Minnesota with his son-in-law, David, and grandson, Michael, filled with laughter and shared stories.

Jesus will be lovingly remembered for his devotion to family, his humor, and his generous heart.

He is deeply missed by all who loved him:

• Domaso, brother, and Maricarmen, sister-in-law

• His wife, Angie Martin-Peñasco

• Daughter, Rosemarie Montgomery, and son-in-law David Montgomery

• Grandchildren: Nastasha Mercer Cook, Michelle Montgomery, Erica Montgomery, Michael Montgomery, and Faith Montgomery

Until we meet again, may he rest in peace.
