Miguel was blessed with 79 years to build a life that he loved and grow a family he was proud of.
Miguel was born in San Miguel, Acatan, Guatemala on June 13, 1943 to Juan Jimenez and Ana Miguel Zay. As a child he loved school more than anything and wanted to learn so much that he would bathe in the river while no one was around so that he could go to school clean. He never lost his zest for learning and as an adult enjoyed learning how to speak English.
In 1973 he met the love of his life, Marta and together they raised a family with seven children that were everything to him. Giving his children the best future possible was all that mattered to him. In 1998 Miguel moved his family to South Dakota where he worked for local dairies until he retired to start his own lawn care business. Everyone in town loved seeing him driving around to different houses on one of his mowers.
Miguel is survived by his wife of 48 years, Marta Lida de Jimenez and 5 children. Maria Magdalena Jimenez (Porfirio Perez), Anabela Jimenez (Christian Alverado Mejia), Miguel Angel Jimenez (Ennita Aldana), Josue Jeremías Jimenez ,and, Kely Liliana Jimenez (Alejandro Ruano) twelve grandchildren, Jorge Mario Perez Jimenez, Susan Karels, Carlos Chen Jimenez, Hector Chen Jimenez, Martita Chen Jimenez, Gisselle Perez Jimenez, Karla Chen Jimenez, Miguel Jimenez Jr, Brayan Jimenez, Johanna Jimenez, Jaedyn Bell, Jocelyn Jimenez, Angel Gabriel Jimenez, Tiana Ruano, Grayson Jimenez, Thiago Ruano and twelve great grandchildren.
