The world’s oldest man Juan Vicente Perez Mora, who lived through both world wars and multiple pandemics, has tragically passed away at the ripe old age of 114. He would have been 115 next month.

The supercentenarian’s death was confirmed by Freddy Bernal, governor of Táchira, Venezuela, where the old-timer lived, according to the Guinness Book Of World Records.

The bereaved politician posted a heartfelt tribute on X, writing: “Our dear Juan Vicente Perez Mora, today with deep sadness and pain we say goodbye to you, to that archetype of a man from Tachira, humble, hard-working, peaceful, enthusiastic about family and tradition.”

“My old Don Vicente, we will always remember him for his optimism in life, for faith, hope and that deep love for our state of Táchira,” he added.

Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro also paid homage to the deceased senior, declaring “Juan Vicente Perez Mora has transcended into eternity at 114 years old. I send my hug and condolences to his family and to all the people of El Cobre, Tachira state. May God receive him in his holy glory!”

Perez’s exact cause of death remains unclear.

Born in May 27, 1909, the super senior was confirmed as the world’s oldest man on February 4, 2022 at the ripe old age of 112 years and 253 days old.

He received the baton after Spain’s Saturnino de la Fuente Garcia, who was born on February 11, 1909, passed away on January 18, 2022 at 112 years and 341 days old.

Shortly thereafter the announcement, GBWR subsequently posted a statement commemorating Perez’s incredible milestone. “Juan Vicente has exceptional health and memory,” they wrote. “He loves to be surrounded by family and friends as they tell stories and engage in good conversation. “
