Guinness World records officially confirmed Perez as the world’s oldest man alive on February 4, 2022, when he was 112 years and 253 days old.
A father of 11, as of 2022 he had 41 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
The farmer, known as Tio Vicente, was born in the town of El Cobre in the Andean state of Tachira on May 27, 1909, and was the ninth of 10 children.
“At the age of five years old, he started working with his dad and brothers in agriculture and assisted with sugar cane and coffee harvesting,” a Guinness statement from 2022 said.
Perez went on to become a sheriff and was responsible for resolving land and family disputes, while still working in agriculture.

ReplyDeleteGod rest your beautiful soul.
He's not the oldest anyway, just that most families aren't interested in this Guinness World Record thingy.
In Anambra State, Idemili local government areas have the aged, older than 114.
In Anaocha local government area, Adazi Nnukwu to be precise, we've visited a family near Amaolu Junction whose grandma is 134 years few years ago.
Don't know if she's late or still living.
Will ask her great grandchild.
See them.. I have a 150 year old woman/man in my village. Did you notice he has 18 great-great grand children. Not a 130 year old woman having only a grand child or a 4 year old great grand child.. Africans marry early so a 130 year old should have at least a 10- 20 year old great great grand child.
DeleteMy grandma died last 2 years aged 122 with 23 great grand children.
DeleteOhio. Thanks for the corroboration.
DeleteMy paternal grandmother will be 103 next monday.
Can't wait for the zoom party🔥🍹
RIP to the man
