Jesus A Naranjo De La Noval, passed away peacefully on May 3, 2025, in Dunnellon, Florida. Born on the vibrant streets of Havana, Cuba, on December 24, 1960, Jesus's  zest for life was evident from the very start. He brought warmth and joy into the lives of all who knew him, and his legacy is one of love, laughter, and an indomitable spirit.

Jesus is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Mary Bloodgood-Naranjo, his son Matthew Bloodgood and wife Carla, his cherished girls Star Naranjo and Somers Naranjo. He was a beloved brother to Gilberto Naranjo and wife Claudia, Humberto Naranjo and wife Laura, Daniel Naranjo and wife Otilia, and sisters Norma Tizzoin and husband Salvatore, and Lisette Perez and husband Michael. His life was also enriched by numerous nieces and nephews who adored their Uncle Jesus "Jack" . He was preceded in death by his parents, Humberto and Norma Naranjo his sister Sonia Alameda, and nephew Gilberto Naranjo Jr.

Jesus's remarkable journey from Havana to Florida was filled with accomplishments and adventures. He was a master tradesman, a jack of all trades whose hands could skillfully craft and create wonders. His work was not just a job; it was a testament to his ability to envision and realize the potential of every project he undertook. His colleagues and all those who were part of his professional circle admired Jesus for his work ethic, his innovative mind, and his willingness to lend a hand wherever it was needed.

Beyond his professional life, Jesus's interests and passions painted the portrait of a man who was as generous with his time and talents as he was with his spirit. He was a person of boundless energy, always curious, always evolving. Jesus was a genius in his own right, not just in his trade but in the way he approached life. His generosity knew no bounds, and his genuineness was felt by everyone he met.

Above all, Jesus loved his family deeply. He was the heart of every gathering, often found with a laugh ready to bubble over, a captivating story on his lips, and a Bud Light in hand. His presence was a source of comfort and joy, and his absence will leave a space that cannot be filled. Jesus was a man who lived life to the fullest, embracing every moment with a fierce passion and a gentle heart.

As we say goodbye to Jesus,  we celebrate the extraordinary life he led and the countless memories he has left behind. His stories will continue to be told, his laughter will echo in our hearts, and his lessons of love and life will be passed down through generations.

Though Jesus has departed from this earthly realm, the impact of his life will be felt forever by those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Jesus's journey through life was a testament to the power of positivity, the strength of family bonds, and the beauty of a life well-lived. As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the incredible person he was and the immeasurable ways he enriched our lives. Jesus A Naranjo De La Noval will be deeply missed, but his legacy will continue to inspire all who knew him to live with the same courage, joy, and love that he embodied every day.
