Jose had a big heart and loved making his family and friends laugh while cracking a funny joke. He had a unique laugh that lit up the room when you were around. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, dirt bikes and boating. He was always willing to help anyone and everyone no matter what time it was and needed.

At age 14 he fell in love with the love of his life, Jennifer. They were together 22 years and married 16 years. They had their first daughter Bryanna who was born on June 4, 2002. He was so happy and filled with joy. Bryanna was his "BooBoo", he was always so proud of her; always supported her with her singing whatever she wanted to do. Most importantly he was proud of her big achievement, being a 2020 graduated. On November 21, 2006 they had their second daughter Nevaeh who he called "Lou"; she was his personal masseuse and his shadow, always wanting to be by his side. Jose was full of life even when he was feeling down; he always would make you laugh. Jose had many friends that looked up to him. Everywhere he went, he would make a friend. Jose will be missed and forever in our hearts.
