Jose was one who loved people and loved taking care of them. He was currently serving as the pastor of the Iglesia Apostolica Volviendo A Nacer Church in Searcy. He loved to preach the word to anyone who would stop and listen and was willing to stay with them until they had a clear meaning of what he had told them. He lived what he preached which was evident in the way he was to and with others. He always put others first and no matter what he was doing, when someone called for help, he stopped what he was doing and went to help them.
His family was most important to him after God and he always made the most of the time that he had with them. Jose learned to fish at a very young age and never got tired of going fishing. His parents always said he loved to fish more than go to school so he would often times go fishing instead of going to school.

Due to the most recent COVID-19 directive, face covering must be worn at all times and six-feet distancing will be observed.
