Irineo Vazquez

June 28, 1945 — March 22, 2022

English:

Irineo Vazquez Gonzalez age 76, passed away on March 22nd at the Saint George Regional Hospital after a long battle with Pneumonia due to Covid. Irineo was born on 28 June 1945 to his mother Balbina Gonzalez and his father Florentino Vazquez. His father unfortunately passed away early in his life, so Irineo was raised by his mother and stepfather.

Irineo met his wife Maria Ramirez at a very young age in the small town of Alpoyeca Guerrero in Mexico. They legally married on 23 October 1963 and later sealed their marriage through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 8 May 2002. Together they raised 10 children, 3 of whom unfortunately passed away. Family has always been his main priority, so in the 1980’s he decided to move to the U.S. for work, so that he could provide a better life and future for his children and wife.

If you knew Irineo, you knew that he was a person that would always put a big smile on your face with his humorous jokes and funny stories. Dedicating time to his agriculture work in the field was something he loved doing with passion and pride. He would always talk to you about how he loved growing crops of corn, fruits, and vegetables for a living back when he was in Mexico.

Irineo is survived by his wife, 7 children and 21 grandchildren. There will be a service for those who would like to say their last goodbyes to Irineo on the 1st of April, at 9am at the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 550 E 700 S. St. Saint George UT 84770. Interment will take place in (Tonaquint Cemetery.)

Irineo Vázquez González de 76 años, falleció el 22 de Marzo en el Hospital Regional de Saint George luego de una larga batalla contra la Neumonía a causa del Covid. Irineo nació el 28 de Junio de 1945 de su madre Balbina González y su padre Florentino Vázquez. Desafortunadamente, su padre falleció temprano en su vida, por lo que Irineo fue criado por su madre y su padrastro.

Irineo conoció a su esposa María Ramírez a una edad muy temprana en el pequeño pueblo de Alpoyeca Guerrero en México. Se casaron legalmente el 23 de octubre de 1963 y luego sellaron su matrimonio a través de La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de Los Últimos Días el 8 de mayo de 2002. Juntos criaron a 10 hijos, 3 de los cuales lamentablemente fallecieron. La familia siempre ha sido su principal prioridad, por lo que en la década de 1980 decidió mudarse a los EE. UU. por trabajo, para poder brindar una mejor vida y un futuro a sus hijos y esposa.
