“It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven," his sister wrote. “He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more. Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top.”

She continued: “Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly. Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston.”

TMZ has reported that Jenner will step in and pay for funeral costs and other expenses involved in putting him to rest, including transporting him back to his home town of Houston.
