Preceded in death by stepmother, Tina Montez; grandparents, Amounte (Victoria) Montez and Jim (Donna) Salazar; uncles, Anthony and Jason Montez; aunt, Bridget Salazar; cousin, Nicole Montez and godfather, Jerry Mascarenas.
Jessica attended Central High School. She was a selfie queen. She loved to sing, making the family laugh singing opera and doing her cute chipmunk voices, gambling and taking care of the kids. Her nieces and nephews were very special to her, she loved each of them. Jessica had a special bond with her nephew Albert that no one could break, he was her “dinky”. Jessica was the life of the party. She would light up any room. She had a great personality and sense of humor, always bringing joy. She was Sandra’s shopping partner, they would shop until they dropped. Jessica was so kind and caring. She would do and give anything to anyone. Jessica and John Jr., her brother, were so tight. He was her partner in crime; they were always together and had each other’s back.
Jessica is survived by her husband, Ernesto Cancino; parents, John (Sandra) Montez and Rita (Lonnie) Esquibel; siblings, Amanda Montez, Amber (Robert) Salazar, Jade (Dez) Terrones-Young, Desirae Montez, John Montez Jr., Mercedes Montez (James Sierra), and Victoria (Shayla) Montez; several nieces, nephews, cousins, godmother, Loretta Ruble; aunts and uncles.
