Juan Pérez’s journey
Born on May 27, 1909, Juan Vicente Pérez Mora was born as the ninth child of ten in a family consisting of Eutiquio del Rosario Pérez Mora and Edelmira Mora. His humility, hard work, and respect for tradition transcend the borders through which his legacy is marked.

Pérez’s family and wisdom

His marriage lasted sixty years with Ediofina del Rosario García, with whom he had eleven children, this resulted in forty-two grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren, and twelve great-great-grandchildren.
For Perez, age was no obstacle to history-making. In 2019, he became Venezuela's first male supercentenarian at 110, giving simple yet deep advice for a long life, such as hard labor, sleeping early and waking up early, drinking an aguardiente every day, and strongly believing in God.
Perez’s devotion to prayer, immovably rigid work ethic, and unwavering commitment to his family and faith touched the lives of those who knew him.
