Jesus Diaz, 77, passed away after a long, hard fight with cancer surrounded by loved ones on December 31st, 2024. Jesus was born on April 24, 1947, in La Montesa Zacatecas, Mexico. He moved to Dodge City, KS where he raised his four children. While living in Dodge City, many knew him as the "Panadero" or "Breadmaker". As a baker of Mexican sweet bread, much of the Latino community would frequent his house to buy some of his delicious breads. He loved being around friends and family and always did his best to provide for not just his immediate family, but relatives too. He would randomly break into song and dance, either alone or with this wife or grandchildren. He retired in Wichita, Kansas to be closer to his children and grandchildren and enjoyed gardening and watching his grandchildren grow up.

He is survived by his wife; Guadalupe (Barcenas) Diaz. His four children; Thelma (Lindell) Frankum of Sedalia, Missouri, Gerardo Diaz of Kansas City, Kansas, Elizabeth (Michael) Diaz-Cox of Wichita, KS, Francisco (Amanda) of Peoria, Illinois.
