Juan Vicente Perez Mora, the world\u2019s oldest man and a Venezuelan citizen, has died at the age of 114. He was just two months shy of his 115th birthday.
\nOfficially recognised by Guinness World Records (GWR) in 2022, Perez Mora was born on May 27, 1909.
\nAccording to GWR, he attributed his long life to a combination of hard work, proper rest, early sleep, a daily glass of aguardiente (a sugarcane liquor), and a strong faith.
\nPerez Mora was married to Ediofina del Rosario Garcia for 60 years until her passing in 1997.
\nTogether they built a large family, with 11 children (six sons and five daughters) who went on to have a total of 42 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
\nVenezuelan President Nicolas Maduro paid tribute to Perez Mora on social media platform X.
\n\u201cJuan Vicente Perez Mora has transcended into eternity at 114 years old, from the town of El Cobre who gave Venezuela the Guinness Record for being the oldest man in the world,\u201d Maduro said.
\n\u201cI send my hugs and condolences to his family and to all the people of El Cobre, Tachira state. May God receive him in his holy glory!\u201d the Venezuelan President added.<\/p>\n
