To Jose Medina family, I just found out about Jose´s death, and I´m very saddened at his passing. A common friend of ours, Raul Armendariz, who knew him in college, is reading a chapter in my autobiography and saw Jose´s name, and said, I know that character. Jose played a very important role in my life as we both took on the state of Texas in the Doe v Plyler case which we won, all the way to the US Supreme Court in 1982. In fact, I wrote the report, Exhibit 219, which was submitted to the Houston federal District Court during the case, and Jose kept me up till 4 AM until I finished the report. He did so by telling me bad jokes that I had to laugh at, but he kept me awake.
Jose had a great heart and we last visited here in Denver some six or seven years ago. We reminisced late into the night, but we just didn´t keep up our contact.
The World has lost a peaceful warrior who gave so much to this world, his family, his friends, and his community. He lives in on in our hearts. May he rest in peace and power, and bark at us from above. Jose Medina, PRESENTE!

Joe was an inspirational leader at MEChA, UTEP. It was an honor to work with him on Chicanx initiatives both on campus and in the community. I will also remember his good nature and sense humor. As a social justice advocate, he will be missed. I am proud to have known Joe. May he rest in peace.

I knew Joe from our days at Austin High School and then UTEP. Mad Dog was the appropriate name because he had such passion, intensity and unconditional commitment to the underserved in El Paso and other places. He also had a marvelous sense of humor and he made me laugh many times. A true warrior that will be missed. My condolences to his family. Peace,
