| He could be the oldest. |
Born on August 4, 1895, according to his 1917 marriage certificate, Jose witnessed historical milestones such as the first-ever Proms, the inaugural rugby league football game, and the discovery of X-rays.
Willyan Jose Rodrigues de Souza, a legal adviser, asserted that Jose’s age was accurate, suggesting he was born before 1900. If proven true, he would surpass the current Guinness World Records holder, Spain’s Maria Branyas Morera, who is 115.
Living a simple and humble life, Jose worked as an animal tamer and enjoyed a self-sufficient lifestyle, relying on natural and countryside-produced goods. He was fondly remembered by his family, leaving behind seven children, 25 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren, and 11 great-great-grandchildren.
His granddaughter, Eliane Ferreira, revealed that due to rural practices, Jose’s documentation might have inaccuracies, but his family had no doubt about his age, knowing he lived for over a century.
Jose’s passing was attributed to multiple organ failure, a natural outcome given his old age. He was laid to rest at the Corrego dos Fialhos Cemetery in Pedra Bonita.
While Guinness World Records has yet to confirm Jose’s status officially, the Brazilian countryside mourns the loss of a man whose longevity was only matched by the cherished memories he created with his loved ones.
Special shout out to Norman Lear. He turned 101 on July 27th. He is still writing scripts and currently a striking union member of the Writer's Guild of America.
He died a few days short of his 128th birthday.
Now if the records are verified, he would be one of the oldest males in history.
The average life of a human is 77 years old.
Our U.S. President, Joseph R. Biden II is 80 years old. If he wins his reelection in 2024, he will be 82 years old in November.
