Jesus “Chuy” Murillo, a beloved son, father, and athlete, tragically passed away on April 1, 2025, in Dinuba, California. He was 26 years old.
Born and raised in Dinuba, Jesus was known for his passion for soccer, playing as a goalkeeper for the Dinuba High School varsity team. His dedication to the sport and his teammates earned him recognition both at the state and national levels. He was a proud member of the Dinuba community, where he built lasting friendships and memories.
Beyond the field, Jesus was a father to two young children, whom he cherished deeply. His love for them was evident to those who knew him, and his presence in their lives will be deeply missed.
Jesus leaves behind his mother, Manuela Ochoa, his children, extended family, and friends who mourn his passing. His mother has organized a fundraiser to support his funeral services, seeking prayers and assistance from the community during this difficult time.
A memorial service will be announced by the family in the coming days, where loved ones can gather to remember Jesus and celebrate his life.
May he rest in peace.
