The family of celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero has revealed new medical details following his sudden passing in February. While he had been diagnosed with gastritis months earlier, his sister, Gris Guerrero, says they never expected it to turn fatal. His condition had worsened in the weeks leading up to his death, leaving loved ones with more questions than answers.
Health Struggles That Went Unnoticed
Jesus Guerrero, best known for styling stars like Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez, was reportedly suffering from health issues before his death. His sister shared that he had lost 20 pounds and struggled to eat due to stomach pain.
It wasn’t just weight loss—there were other concerning symptoms as well.
-
He reportedly experienced severe stomach pain.
-
Eating became increasingly difficult in the days before his passing.
-
Sources claimed he also complained of chills and hot flashes.
Despite this, he kept most of his health struggles private. Even his close friends weren’t fully aware of the extent of his suffering.
A Sudden and Confusing Turn of Events
Guerrero had been working in the United Arab Emirates with Jennifer Lopez shortly before his death. Upon returning to Los Angeles, he was admitted to a hospital on February 21. The very next day, he passed away at just 34 years old.
His family remains uncertain about what exactly happened. While some sources suggested pneumonia, his sister denied that diagnosis, at least based on what she has seen in medical documents.
“We have so many questions and a lot doesn’t make sense,” she told Us Weekly.
A Private Battle, Even Among Friends
Those close to Guerrero say he rarely spoke about his health issues. Even Kylie Jenner, one of his longtime clients and friends, was unaware of the severity of his condition.
“He didn’t tell a lot of people,” his sister explained. “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.”
Unfortunately, that was not the case.
A Heartfelt Farewell with Celebrity Presence
Jesus Guerrero’s funeral took place in Houston, drawing close family members and several celebrity clients.
-
Kylie Jenner attended and was present at his burial.
-
Jennifer Lopez also showed up to pay her respects.
-
Katy Perry, another former client, was unable to attend but helped the family by providing security for a private and peaceful service.
Guerrero’s passing has left a void in both the fashion and celebrity world. While his family continues searching for answers, those who knew him best are remembering the man behind the talent—a beloved friend and artist gone too soon.
