I write this on behalf of my whole family as we honor our deeply loved one Jose gone to soon.

He was taken from us far too soon, leaving behind a deep and painful void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him.

Jose as many things to many people. He was a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community who lived authentically and courageously, inspiring others simply by being himself. He was a devoted husband, a loving son, a supportive brother, a caring uncle, a proud godfather, a loyal cousin, and a true friend. Family meant everything to him, and he showed his love through his actions every single day.

A hard worker with a generous heart, he never hesitated to show up for others. He was a light in his community — someone who could walk into a room and instantly make it brighter. His laughter, kindness, and warmth were impossible to miss, and his presence made people feel seen, welcomed, and valued.

As we gather ourselves with the loss of his earthly presence his light will shine on but the after process doesnt come without the overwhelming challenges were never prepared for when it comes to the cost of putting him to rest. What we are asking for is a little support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses so we can honor Jose in a way that reflects the beautiful life he lived. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please consider sharing this page and keeping our family in your thoughts.

Thank you for your love, kindness, and support as we celebrate Jose’s life and carry his light forward like he did in a room he stepped in always capturing eyes with his smile and fun loving heart.
