Obituary for Jesus "Jesse" Suarez

Jesus “Jesse” Suarez, 45, passed away peacefully at his home in South San Francisco on December 27, 2020, after a courageous 14-month battle with brain cancer. Jesse was born on September 30, 1975, in San Francisco, California, to Lucia Medrano and Raul Suarez. He was raised in South San Francisco.

Jesse owned his own plumbing business, Certified Plumbing and Rooter, which served the entire Bay Area Peninsula. He cared deeply about the quality of service provided to all his customers. Jesse was a dedicated 49ers fan. Whether tailgating or traveling to away games, Jesse was definitely in the “Bang, Bang, Niner Gang.” He also loved camping and barbecuing with family and friends.

Jesse was thoughtful, kind, loving, strong, generous, fun, and courageous. He never complained and was always positive, even during his battle with cancer, which he fought to the very end. Jesse’s family and friends were everything to him. If he loved you, you knew it! We will never forget his big heart.

Jesse will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Samantha, and his three children, Dominique, Frankie, and Kayla. He is also survived by his mother Lucia Medrano; father Raul Suarez; stepparents Basilio Alvarez and Mari Suarez; sisters Lucy Sanchez, Jenny Alvarez, Livier Suarez, Vanessa Castillo, and April Suarez; brothers Basilio (Junior) Alvarez, Alex Suarez, and Julio Suarez; and many nieces and nephews. Jesse is predeceased by his beloved brother Raul Armando Suarez. He also leaves behind his dog and best friend “Fluffy.”

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all services will be limited to immediate family only.

The vigil service will be held on Sunday, January 10, 2021, between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. at Cypress Lawn, 1383 El Camino, Real, Colma, CA.
