Jose's favorite thing was when we had get togethers, nobody left his house on an empty stomach. He was a jack of all trades. Jose was a logger, a truck driver, a ranch hand, a septic system contractor, and an amazing mechanic. There wasn't anything he didn't know how to do.  He loved fishing, hunting, camping. The mountains were his home. Our cowboy will be missed by so many. Jose had 11 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. To the world he was just another man but to us he was our Hero!
