To the family of Jose, we are truly saddened by the loss of Jose. He will truly be missed by so many. His music and his sense of humor were like no other. We will forever remember all that Jose accomplished in the short time our lord lent him to us.
Jose, we know for sure you are in his presence, making all that great you laugh. Thank you for being a part of our family, guiding our kids with your knowledge from Basketball to giving Phillip the best Navy advice. And being a # 1 Cheer dad. All the memories will be cherished forever. I have so funny stories I could tell but one I remember stands out was when you were coaching our girls how to play basketball, telling them they have to yell ball ball ball ball. They use to think that was so lame but once they knew what it can do to frazzle the other team they were with it. Just the other day when Angel and Dominique went out for a moment you still wanted to tell them they looked Fly. All the little things are cherished to their hearts.
I'm so glad that we were all brought together all those yrs ago. You and Marcia have a beautiful gift of love that was shared with my family and I thank you for that. You will forever be missed. And by the way Jose I did call Marcia to tell her your song was on the Radio when I left the other evening, you just knew I would call her.
So Jose God Bless you and your family through this difficult time. We are here for each other. Rest in Peace our friend.
We love you!
Always, Dar, Andre, Angel, Phillip and Eddie.
