The family of celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero has revealed new information about his health struggles before his sudden death in February. His sister, Gris Guerrero, shared that while he was diagnosed with gastritis, his condition worsened dramatically. The new details raise more questions about what led to the 34-year-old’s tragic and unexpected passing, leaving his family and friends searching for answers.
A Private Battle with Worsening Symptoms
Long before his death, Jesus Guerrero was dealing with serious health issues that he largely kept to himself. Though he had received a gastritis diagnosis, the symptoms he experienced in the weeks leading up to his death were alarming.
His sister shared that he had lost a noticeable amount of weight, dropping 20 pounds due to persistent stomach pain that made it hard for him to eat. This rapid weight loss was a clear sign that something was seriously wrong.
Other troubling symptoms also began to appear, painting a picture of a body in distress.
- He complained of severe and ongoing stomach pain.
- Eating became a major challenge in his final days.
- Sources close to him said he also suffered from chills and hot flashes.
Despite these clear warning signs, Guerrero chose not to share the full extent of his suffering with most people in his life, including some of his closest friends.
The Final Days and Unanswered Questions
The timeline of Guerrero’s final days has left his family confused. He had been working in the United Arab Emirates with Jennifer Lopez just before he returned to Los Angeles. He was admitted to the hospital on February 21 and passed away the very next day.
His family remains uncertain about what exactly happened in the hospital. While some reports initially suggested pneumonia as a possible cause, his sister has denied this, stating that the medical documents she has reviewed do not support that diagnosis.
“We have so many questions and a lot doesn’t make sense,” Gris Guerrero told Us Weekly, expressing the family’s frustration and grief. They are still trying to piece together the events that led to his death.
Celebrity Friends Were Unaware of his Struggle
Guerrero’s tendency to keep his health issues private meant that even those who worked with him regularly were unaware of how sick he truly was. Kylie Jenner, a longtime client and friend, reportedly did not know the severity of his condition.
“He didn’t tell a lot of people,” his sister explained. This private approach to his health is a common thread in the accounts of those who knew him. Friends who noticed his weight loss and fatigue encouraged him to seek help, but he seemed to believe he could overcome it on his own. “People who saw him told him, ‘You need to get rest and help,’ but he seemed to believe he could push through it and get better,” she added.
A Heartfelt Farewell from Friends and Stars
Jesus Guerrero’s funeral was held in Houston and was attended by his close family and several of the celebrity clients whose lives he touched. The service was a testament to the impact he had on the fashion and beauty world.
Kylie Jenner was present for the service and his burial, showing her support for the family. Jennifer Lopez also attended to pay her final respects to the talented artist.
Katy Perry, another one of his former clients, was unable to attend the funeral. However, she helped the family by providing security for the event. This ensured the service could remain a private and peaceful farewell for his loved ones. Guerrero’s passing has left a significant void, and his family continues to seek closure while his friends remember him as a kind soul and a brilliant artist.
