Jose Cerda Obituary

Jose Jorge De La Cerda

Known as Jumpin Joe De La Cerda in his high school days as a proud Irvin Rocket. Joe excelled at basketball and especially track and field where he competed at state his junior and senior years in the high jump.

My father went on to serve nineteen years in the United States Navy. He spoke fondly of the friendships he forged and places he experienced while serving on the USS Independence and USS Nimitz to name a few.

A beloved family man with a big heart for all. He was a giant in all our lives. He will be greatly missed by many. We will have him in our hearts now and for evermore. Until we meet again, may you rest in our Fathers arms.

He is survived by his brother, two sisters, wife, and three sons.





Conocido como "Jumpin" Joe De La Cerda en sus días de escuela secundaria como un orgulloso Irvin Rocket. Joe destacó en el baloncesto y especialmente en atletismo, donde compitió en el estado en sus años junior y senior en el salto de altura. Mi padre prosiguió a servir por diecinueve años en la Marina de Estados Unidos. Habló con cariño de las amistades que forjó y los lugares que experimentó mientras servía en el USS Independence y el USS Nimitz, por nombrar algunos. Fue un querido hombre de familia con un gran corazón para todos. Fue un gigante en todas nuestras vidas. Lo echarán mucho de menos. Lo tendremos en nuestro corazón ahora y para siempre. Hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar, que descanses en los brazos de nuestro Padre. Le sobrevive su hermano, dos hermanas, su esposa y sus tres hijos.

I worked with Joe at GE. We had a lot of fun. He was one the friendliness person I've ever met. He was a family man. He talked about his kids often. I was blessed to have known him and have him as a friend.
