Jose Alcantar Obituary
Jose Alberto Alcantar, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away on September 8, 2025, at the age of 62. Born on May 18, 1963, Jose was a vibrant spirit whose warmth and laughter filled the lives of those around him.
Jose's love for family and food came together beautifully during the holidays. He looked forward to celebrating with his loved ones, relishing every moment spent at the table sharing meals together. The 4th of July was particularly special to him, as he loved enjoying hotdogs and the festive atmosphere that surrounded the holiday.
Throughout the years, Jose cherished attending his sons' sports events. Whether it was football, baseball, wrestling, or soccer, he was their biggest supporter, taking immense pride in watching them grow and succeed. His dedication to family extended to his grandchildren as well, whose games he attended with joy. Watching them play flag football brought him immense happiness, affirming the close-knit family bonds he fostered.
Jose is survived by his loving wife, Sandra O. Alcantar; his sons, Jose Alberto Alcantar Jr. and Miguel Angel Alcantar; his brother, Tomas Alcantar; his daughter-in-law, Krysta Soto; and his grandchildren, Jose Alcantar III and Raziela Renee Alcantar. Each of them will carry forward fond memories of their time with him, remembering his enthusiastic laughter and unwavering support.
Jose is reunited in spirit with his parents, Jose and Refugio Alcantar; his brother, Guillermo Alcantar; and his sisters, Yolanda Lopez and Teresa Barbosa. Though he has departed from this earth, the love he shared and the memories created will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
Visitation will take place at Martinez Funeral Chapels - Nogales on September 15, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM. A Rosary service will follow, beginning at 12:00 PM. Jose's life will be honored during a Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on the same day, starting at 2:00 PM. As we gather to celebrate a life rich in love and devotion, we remember Jose Albert Alcantar—a wonderful man whose legacy of family and joy will live on in the hearts of many.
