Jorge Reyes-Jungwirth

Jorge “Jorgito” Alexander Reyes-Jungwirth (Feb. 21, 2003 – Jan. 26, 2024) brought gentle warmth to those around him. A beloved son and brother, Jorge is remembered by family and friends for his calm presence and the small kindnesses that endeared him to so many. He lived in the Twin Cities area and was described by loved ones as a thoughtful young man with a bright spirit and hopeful outlook.

Jorge is survived by his father Jorge I. Reyes Rios, siblings Lindsey, Kelly, Frieda, Arturo and Adonis, and a wide circle of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who shared his life. He was preceded in death by his mother, Shannon P. Jungwirth, and grandfather David M. Jungwirth.

Family and friends gathered to honor Jorge’s life with visitation at Klecatsky & Sons Funeral Homes – West Chapel, and a Mass of Christian burial was held at the Church of St. Joseph in West St. Paul. Those services offered family and community members a chance to remember Jorge’s kindness, his quiet strength, and the gentle ways he made ordinary days better for others.

Those who knew Jorge recall a young man whose presence mattered: a caring son, a devoted brother, and a friend who left an impression through his thoughtfulness. In the face of unimaginable loss, his family asks that memories of Jorge’s warmth and the love he shared be cherished and carried forward. For those wishing to honor his memory, flowers and remembrances were directed through Klecatsky & Sons Funeral Homes.
