John Jess Reyes

October 4, 1965 – January 17, 2018

John Jess Reyes, was 52 years old, from San Bernardino California. He was born on October 4th ,1965. John loved the Lord Jesus Christ and served his Lord’s church with fervency and passion. Scripture was his lamp and light to his feet. The Lord’s church kept him on his path home.

The Inland Empire’s Premiere Mobile Mechanic, has finished his noble work on earth and was called home by the Lord on January 17th, 2018. “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

John will be remembered by all who knew him in very different ways as he was a jack of many trades and a wearer of many hats. John was a mechanic, a welder, a craftsman of fine goods, a florist, a film expert, a speaker of Klingon, a Trekkie, a music aficionado, and above all, a comedian.

John would inject his unique bold sense of humor into any situation and would brighten up your worst day. He was luminary to the world and the need in his heart was to do good things for people around him. In the presence of John, you were in good hands. He was a giver even when he had so little to give.

John lived his life to its fullest regardless of his means. He was a lover of metal whether it be cars, engines, welding, spaceships, or music. He was a gifted man with hands that could build any vision he dreamed of and was a creative craftsman.

Most importantly, John was a loving and devoted grandfather. His happiest moments were when he had money in his pocket to spend on his precious little granddaughters who were always in tow. He wore his biggest smile when he was pushing his granddaughters in their strollers.

John is reunited with his mother Jennie and his baby daughter Carmen whom he joined in the kingdom of God.

John is survived by his son JP Reyes, his daughters Aurora Reyes and Raquel Fonseca, his grandchildren Audrey and Aurora, Angelina, John Joseph (JJ), Ean, Joseph, and Andrew. His father Louis Reyes, his four sisters Celia Reyes, Cindy Avila, Helen Banuelos, and Delia Summerfield. Three brothers-in- laws Alfonso Avila, Victor Banuelos and Joseph Summerfield. Many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces. His best friend Andrew Alkana.
