Jose had a great love for all sorts of dogs but especially pit bulls. He was a breeder and raised many pit bulls, many of which now belong to his family as beloved pets.

He really enjoyed spending time with friends and treated them as family. He loved to celebrate holidays and birthdays, often texting his family first thing in the morning to start the day’s celebrations. He will best be remembered by his immense love for his family and friends, his granddaughters are most cherished.
