To The Bejarano Familia

I am very saddened by the death of Jimmy Jr. I always think of him when I drive down Holland Rd past his apartment building and past UPS. He was a friend of mine and I will miss him and never forget him or his music. He was a very talented musician. I was so happy when Lucia came into his life. She made these last months the happiest for him. God Bless you all and keep you in his loving arms as you go on in these days without him. Sincerely, Marti Gonzales

I have known Jimmy for the better part of my life and considered Jimmy to be one of my oldest, dearest friends. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I know that as of late Jimmy was doing so well and was so happy about the recent changes in his life. I know he died happy, and that is of some comfort. I send my condolences to your family and Lucy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Hold tightly to the memory of Jimmy. He was such a wonderful, loving and caring person. Heaven certainly got an angel.

To the family of Jimmy Bejarano. I offer my deepest sympathies on your loss. I first met Jimmy at the Conjunto Festival in San Antonio and thereafter, every year he and Los Cuatro Vientos would play at this festival. I would often see Jimmy playing not only with his band but with other bands. He seemed to pop up everywhere. He will be missed at the conjunto festival.

Jimmy, it has been years and years since I have seen you, my friend. We sat next to each other in Mrs. Hoffman's sixth grade class. When I moved away, you gave me an amazing drawing of a diesel train engine that you had drawn yourself. I'll always remember being an altar boy at St. Ann's with you. I don't believe I ever heard you say an unkind word. God bless and keep you and watch over your family...and I'll see you on the other side.
