Jesus Emilio Espericueta-Gamboa went to be with the Lord unexpectedly on Sept. 27, 2016, in Snowflake, Ariz. He was born on March 5, 1990, to Jesus E. Espericueta and Gina Lorraine Bagley. Jesus was a Christian man who loved his sons. He loved to go fishing and cheering for the Arizona Cardinals. One of the family’s favorite memories will be of Jesus barbecuing with the family. Jesus is survived by his mother Gina L. Bagley; step-father Kenneth Bagley; sons, Chris Gamboa (6 years old) and Isaac Gamboa (3 years old); his brother Josh Gamboa; sister Audi Gamboa; nanas, Tina Gamboa and Isabel Espericueta; tatas, Jesus Gamboa Jr. and Emilio Espericueta; and great-grandfather E.T. Hernandez, as well as lots of great aunts and great uncles, 10 aunts and uncles and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Jesus was preceded in death by his father Jesus Espericueta; uncle Alex Espericueta; great-grandmothers, Connie Hernandez and Lupe Gamboa; and great-grandfather Jesus Gamboa. A memorial service was held on Oct. 1, at the Calvary Chapel in Snowflake. The Silver Creek Mortuary of Snowflake handled the arrangements.
