On September 23, 1975, Jorge was born Jesus Antonio and Anita Grajeda in Riva Palacio, Chihuahua, Mexico. He was a semi-truck driver and traveled many miles on his “Blue Thunder,” as Jorge called it. He made his arrival know by honking his horn to let everyone know he was home. One of Jorge’s favorite pastimes was spending time with his family, loved ones, and friends. He was the life of every party. Jorge always had a smile on his face, and strangers became friends. He enjoyed riding his Harley on summer nights with the love of his life, Catalina. Jorge always found the opportunity to dance with his daughter or even himself if the song was good.
