José Insua Obituary

Growing up in Spain is the reason José loved the ocean and started working at the very young age of 14 on fishing boats and for that reason explains his favourite show is: Deadliest Catch. José went off to the Spanish Navy at the age of 19. When he returned, he started working on cargo ships, which led him to travel the world. One of Jose's ships took port on Vancouver Island that's when he fell in love with not only Canada but BC. José than started a lengthy career in the lumber industry. Besides his love of soccer, José soon fell in love with hockey.

José is survived by his caring ex-wife and friend: Carmen Insua (Kamloops), children: John (Michelle) Insua (Kamloops), Maria (Rick) Morgan (Kamloops), grandsons: Justin Insua Wouters (Kelowna), Steven Insua (Kamloops), Dawson Morgan (Kamloops), brothers: Mannuel Insua (Spain), Francisco Insua (Spain), sister: Juana Insua (Spain), plus many nieces, nephews and cousins from Spain.

Predeceased by his mom: Manuela Martinez, father: José Insua, son: Jaime Insua, and grandson: Jess Bray.

José passed away January 24, 2022 at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. He will be missed dearly by his family and friends, especially for his crazy Spanish jokes that made no sense in English and when he broke out in a Spanish tune.

A memorial service will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on Saturday, March 5, 2022 at 1:00 pm.
