Joseph Pacheco Obituary
March 18, 1961 - August 13, 2021
Modesto , California - Our beloved father. The whole family is thoroughly devastated with his unexpected passing.
Joseph Richard Pacheco was born to Joseph and Marilyn Pacheco on March 18th, 1961. He was reunited with his parents after his passing on August 13th, 2021 in Modesto CA.
He was loved by so many. He is survived by his first spouse, Nellie Rush, as well as their children Joseph Rush, Andrea Rush, David Pacheco and Jessica Pacheco, He is also survived by Kelly Crediford and their children, Joseph Pacheco, Lilawakan Pacheco, Johnathan Pacheco and Sixteen grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brother and sisters, many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. He had such a big love for his friends and family.
He was a very talented painter, as it was his passion in life to paint and restore classic vehicles and bikes. He was self-employed and also worked for Robert and Niki Bryan who treated him like family at Motherlode Customs in Sonora CA.
He was a music lover in general, though he loved classic rock and oldies. He had a love for movies. A few of his all-time favorite movies were American graffiti, Hollywood knights and Tombstone.
Though he played the tough guy and could be intimidating at times, he only had a temper when he needed to. He had a very special presence about him. He was magnetic in a way that even if you didn't know him, when he talked to you, you'd feel like you had known him forever.
He was a sturdy character with a keen sense of humor and tender soul. Though we knew his sense of humor to be crude at times, he was known to appreciate a good joke. His loud, contagious laugh will forever be missed.
Services for Joseph Pacheco will be at the Italian Cemetery: 540 F st, Colma Ca 94014 August 31st at 11:00 am.

I love you so much Uncle Joe, I'm so devastated by hearing the news of another fallen Pacheco warrior gone before their time (way too soon), but you are the one's who are truly Blessed; because you both are reunited with Mother and Grandma- our Heart & back bone to the Pacheco Family... Without them we forgot how to function as a unit. But now Brother & Sister are together with the only one's who have started these generations in the first place! Glory to You & the Great memories you all have left and taught along the way .. Blessings left with the one's who have learned from all of the wisdom you've shared with them, these are the Great People who have touched so many peoples lives in one way or the other, the joy you brought to those in your presence is something that not everyone is capable of accomplishing. Personally I'm still hoping to achieve this gift.....Your Lives we're cut way to short but you have lived lives that made a big impact on so many of those who knew you. And that's the greatest gift any human can possess. I wish I knew the secret in achieving this amazing gift... Hopefully one day I'll know the answer. And reach greatness like you have known. Thank you Pacheco's for allowing me to be a part of your blood line. No greater honor than to know I have had the privilege of having you all as my family. Forever in our Hearts Always on our minds and so desperately Missed every day. Till we Ride free together again you'll be missed; loving you guys till my last breath.
