The entertainment industry is mourning the unexpected deaths of two beloved figures—Ricardo Cervantes, known affectionately as "La rana," and Jesús Guerrero, a notable celebrity stylist. Their passing has cast a shadow over the lively spirits of Televisa and the fashion world, respectively.
Ricardo Cervantes, who worked as a cameraman for Televisa, was remembered fondly by colleagues and fans alike. Actor Lalo España, recognized for his role as ‘Germán’ on the popular series ‘Vecinos’, announced Cervantes's death on February 22, 2025, just before the debut of the show’s new season. Through his official X account, España expressed his deep sorrow, stating, “Q.E.P.D. Nuestro querido compañero Ricardo Cervantes 'La rana' camarógrafo de Televisa Guadalajara. Mis condolencias para su familia.” His heartfelt message was accompanied by messages of support and condolences from fans, who remembered Cervantes as more than just a colleague, but as part of the family within Televisa’s walls.
The news of Cervantes’s death struck the entertainment community hard, coinciding with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of ‘Vecinos’, highlighting the fragility of life within the often vibrant but behind-the-scenes industry of television. The show is celebrated for its humor and memorable characters, and Cervantes had been part of this legacy, contributing his passion for visual storytelling.
Adding to the sorrow, Jesús Guerrero, aged 34, also passed away suddenly, prompting tributes from numerous stars he had worked with, including Kylie Jenner, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Lopez. Guerrero was known as the go-to stylist for A-list celebrities, forging strong relationships with his clients based on trust and shared creativity. His sister, Gris Guerrero, confirmed the news through GoFundMe, stating, “Con gran pesar le hacemos saber al mundo que Jesús Guerrero se ha ido al cielo. Es un hijo, un hermano, un tío, un artista, un amigo y mucho más.”
Guerrero's ascent to fame began from humble beginnings as he learned the craft of hairstyling, working initially at small events before making his mark on the fashion and entertainment scene. His breakthrough came with YouTube star Trisha Paytas, resulting in impactful collaborations and eventual recognition from high-end fashion publications like ‘Vogue.’ He styled covers for prestigious magazines, positioning himself as one of the most sought-after stylists.
The stylist’s high-profile clientele speaks to his skills and unique vision, with many celebrities posting their tributes online following his unexpected passing. While Kylie Jenner has yet to publicly comment, the outpouring of love from other celebrities indicates the deep connections he maintained within the industry. Some fans expressed frustration over Jenner’s silence, arguing for compassion toward her as she processes her grief. Amidst this turmoil, messages from stars like Camila Cabello and Paris Hilton illuminated Guerrero's positive impact, as peers grappled with the loss.
The convergence of these tragedies emphasizes the close-knit nature of the entertainment community. The deaths of both Cervantes and Guerrero remind us of the personal relationships forged between those behind the scenes and the glamorous figures they support.
Industry losses evoke shared grief, as celebrities and everyday fans unite to reflect on how such individuals shape creative landscapes, silently becoming integral to larger narratives. Both Ricardo Cervantes and Jesús Guerrero will be remembered not only for their professional contributions but also for their warmth and commitment to their work and peers.
Through this sorrowful time, many hope the legacies of both will inspire future generations within Televisa and the stylist industry. Their untimely passings remind us to cherish the bonds we build within our communities, celebrating life and creativity as interconnected paths.
