Jesus Salvador Velasco was born in Mezquitic, Jalisco to Maria De La Luz Velasco (née Arroyo) and Victorio Velasco. He was the fourth of six surviving children, his immediate older brother Victor having died from a white scorpion bite shortly after his birth. His mother was so consoled by calling him by his recently departed older brother's name, he would be known as Victor his entire life rather than his given name. He enjoyed an idyllic childhood until the passing of his mother due to tuberculosis when he was eight years old. Her loss was so devastating to his father, that their family lost its financial stability. By the age of nineteen, Salvador immigrated to Los Angeles in hopes of saving his father from financial ruin. He succeeded in this and ten years later returned to Mexico to look for a wife. Shortly after arriving, he began courting Paula Gaeta, daughter of Juana (née De La Torre) and Adolfo Gaeta.

In 1996, Salvador built a small restaurant with his wife in Gilroy, California and called it "Puerto Neuvo." This business would ultimately thrive and would lead him to be a well-known member of his community.  In 2012, great tragedy would revisit Salvador again. After battling breast cancer for three difficult years, his beloved daughter would ultimately succumb to the disease at only twenty eight years old. Salvador was completely devastated by her death and his heart never fully recovered.

He carried on with great love for his wife and son. He greatly enjoyed music and singing. He took pride in being a just real estate manager. He always preferred to be in nature.
