On the morning of Friday, April 4, 2025, Jesus went to be with the Lord. He was born January 21, 1961, to the late Jesus E. Sr. and Esperanza Barron. On June 7, 1980, Jesus married Graciela Aguilar in Lubbock cherishing forty-four years of a loving marriage.

Jesus was a talented welder for Eagle Pitcher, where he was well-respected among his peers for his dedication and skill. He poured his heart into every project, much like how he poured love into his family.

Jesus was well known for his personality—he was a giver, someone who loved to help anyone in need, and he had a remarkable sense of humor that brought laughter to those around him. Respected by all, his stubbornness only added to his charm, reminding everyone that he was not one to back down easily, especially when it came to his family and principles.

In addition to his work and family, Jesus took great pride in being a handy man, always up for a project, and his love for the Dallas Cowboys was apparent to all. He had an impressive collection of Stacy Adams shoes, a testament to his unique style, and he took great care to always keep his car clean, reflecting his attention to detail.

However, his greatest joy in life was his family, they will always remember and cherish the love he had for them. Jesus will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his devoted wife Graciela Aguilar Barron of Lubbock; daughters, Felicia Barron of Lubbock (Debi Elizardo), Soledad Placencia (Phillip) of Lubbock, Rachel Barron (John Gallegos) of Denton, and Jessica Barron (Joseph Placencia) of San Antonio; a brother Richard Barron (Leticia) of Lubbock; a sister Lisa Hays (Marcus) of Lubbock; eleven grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by a son Jesus Barron III; parents Jesus E. Sr. and Esperanza Barron; brothers, Valentine Barron and Raul Barron Sr.; a sister Agustina Barron.
