Jessica Ceja

August 28, 1991 - July 11, 2019

Jessica Ceja, 27, passed away unexpectedly in a boating accident Thursday, July 11, 2019 in Chicago. She was born August 28, 1991 in Libertyville and had been living in Vernon Hills where she was a 2009 graduate of Vernon Hills High School. She was employed by a local real estate company and was a few exams shy of receiving her realtor’s license. Jessica was a determined independent woman who lived in the moment and always sparked joy in those around here. Her ready for anything attitude showed through her vivacious personality and her fashion forward style. Jessica’s definition of “casual attire” even on the fastest of errands was, false lashes and a fur coat. Jessica will be remembered most for the love she had for her family and friends. She always made it a priority to take care of her family, especially her mother. Growing up immersed in an entrapanurial family, she and her brothers enjoyed running business ideas by each other and had big dreams for the future. Jessica was a very doting Tia (aunt) to her nieces and nephews as well as her friends children. She never missed a mile stone event or the opportunity to let them know she loved them very much. Jessica was a bright light in a dark world, and will be missed by all. She is survived by her parents, Ramiro & Victoria Ceja; four brothers, Jorge, Mario, Rodolfo and Ricardo Ceja; many nieces & nephews; and by her beloved Dog of over a decade, Gucci. Visitation will be 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday, July 20 with a funeral service at 7:00 p.m., at Burnett-Dane Funeral Home, 120 W. Park Ave. (Rte. 176 one block west of Milwaukee Ave.) Libertyville.
