Jesus Tabares-Buentello

January 15, 1940 – August 30, 2023

Jesus Tabares-Buentello, 83, left his earthly life behind and joined his sweet wife in heaven on August 30, 2023. Jesus was born on January 15, 1940 in Melchor Muzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico, one of eight children born to Genaro Tabares and Guadalupe Buentello.

He learned with his brothers how to fix cars and anything with an engine at a very young age. He loved being a mechanic and it became his passion and life's work. If something wasn't running right, he would fix it.

Jesus married Maria Alicia Valdes on August 9, 1965 in Melchor, Muzquiz. The couple became the parents of one son, Jesus and four daughters, Adelaida, Irene, Claudia and Noemi. He was a very loving father who spoiled his children. When the grandchildren arrived, they became the joy of his life. He often brought the grandkids cake and Mexican bread and loved to go for pickup rides with them.

Jesus was a very friendly person who was always willing to help others and was always quick to share whatever he had with others. He was known for his kindness and had many friends. He loved going to the plaza in Muzquiz for ice cream and popsicles.

He traveled around the state delivering livestock. He enjoyed conversations about politics, checking on the birds and ensuring they had food and water, and he was a treasure hunter. Even though he wasn't able to find any gold or silver here on earth, he finally found the eternal gold in heaven's roads and the eternal magnificence of his Savior.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Maria Alicia Valdes de Tabarres; three brothers: Mario, Enrique and Juan; sister, Cristina and grandson, Samuel Davila. Survivors include his children: Adelaida "Loli" (Raymond) Amaya of Worland, Irene (Federico Vega) Tabares of Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico, Jesus (Dora) Tabares of Denton, Texas, Claudia (Emelio) Rincón of San Angelo, Texas, Noemi (Jose) Tabares of Melchor Muzquiz; grandchildren: Emmanuel Davila (Danielle Cruzen), Damari (Derek) Jansma, Rebeca (Jorge) Martinez; Irene Vega (Marcos Perez), Esdras (Kenya de la Fuente) Vega, Isai (Raquel Lopez) Vega, Abraham Tabares, Neftali Tabares, Lizbeth Tabares, Jackie Rincón, Allyson Rincón, Jared (Amanda) Cedillo, Areli Cedillo and Merari Cedillo; great-grandchildren: Brayden, Chloe, Alexis, Jayde, Charla, Joe, Racheal, Silas, Zoe, Zamari, Alicia, Emma Samuel, Axel, Briggite, Santiago, Siara and Lizbeth.

Cremation has taken place. Memorial services will be held 7:30 PM Friday, September 1, 2023 at the Bryant Funeral Home Chapel. Jesus will be laid to rest in Mexico at a later date. Online condolences can be made at www.byrantfuneralhomeonline.com.
