Jose Salgado Obituary
06/08/1949 - 09/01/2025
Jose Martinez Salgado, age 76, of Midland, Texas, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 1, 2025. He was born in Candelaria, Texas on June 8, 1949, and raised in Stanton, Texas.
Jose is survived by his devoted wife of 40 years, Anita Salgado. The two met in Floresville, Texas, on July 1, 1978, and were united in marriage on August 5, 1985-a love story built on laughter, loyalty, and faith. He is also survived by his brothers, Frank "Kiko" Salgado and wife Cheryl of Spearman, Texas, and William Salgado and wife Angie of San Antonio, Texas; his sister, Linda Garcia and husband Charlie of Odessa, Texas; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews who brought him endless joy.
Jose worked at Butts Recycling and brought his passion for recycling into his everyday life. Known for his warm smile and infectious spirit, Jose had a gift for making people laugh-whether with his playful jokes, animal noises that delighted children and pets alike, or his referee whistles during football season. He loved his "Frios", good music, dancing, and, above all, being surrounded by his family. His presence lit up every room, and his laughter was often the loudest and most joyful.
A visitation will be held on Monday, September 8, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Ellis Funeral Home, 4616 North Big Spring Street, Midland, TX 79705. A rosary will follow at 7:00 PM at the same location. The funeral mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish & Shrine, 1401 Garden Lane. Committal will follow at 11:00 AM at 4616 North Big Spring Street.
Jose will be remembered for the joy he brought to others, his love for life, and the deep bonds he shared with family and friends. He will be dearly missed and forever cherished.
