Life story

No amount of words could tell the beautiful story of Jose’s short lived life with us. He left us with an eternal amount of memories filled with love and laughter to remember him by. Jose would love for people to know how proud he was to be a Zacatecano, the passion & love for his Mustang, & the love he had for music and dancing. Jose left behind his wife, parents, siblings, family and many many friends and people who’s hearts he touched. Jose was so special and was made of pure gold. He was kind, generous, humble, creative, strong, funny and the list can go on forever. In this and every other lifetime there is no one like Jose. In this current scary world we live in many people won’t talk to strangers or offer help but Jose was the person to stop on the side of the road to help, he would drop everything to be available for the people in his life. Even if he didn’t know how to do something he always found a way to get it done. I believe many if not all of us who knew Jose can testify that he was always laughing and smiling, just being his goofy self. He may have been upset but he never showed it. One lesson we can all remember him by is; someone may see you as an enemy but you should always see them as a friend. Jose truly always found the good in people no matter what the circumstances were. To know Jose in any form was truly to be loved.

”If God said to me; I have a deal for you, you can have him but you’ll only have him for 22 years or not all, I’d chose 22 years every time as long as it meant that down the road we would meet again & you’d shape the beautiful life you did”. I LOVE YOU PAST DEATH MI AMOR.

Live like Jose, Love like Jose.

Forever loved & Forever remembered.
