Jose Carlos Vasquez

With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of our beloved patriarch, Jose Vasquez, who entered eternal rest on April 16, 2025, at the age of 78.  Jose was the youngest of nine siblings, and is lovingly remembered by his last surviving brother, Pedro Vasquez. Jose was a devoted husband, a proud father and brother, a loving grandfather, and great grandfather.

Jose was a man whose life was built on hard work, unwavering, love, and simple joys. A skilled craftsmen with a deep appreciation for carpentry. He had a special way of creating beauty with his hands - whether it was fixing something around the house or building something meaningful from scratch. But when his work was done, José knew how to enjoy life. He found happiness in fishing by calm waters, strumming his guitar while singing heartfelt songs, diving into a good book, and most of all, gathering with the people he loved the most.

Jose shared 55 wonderful years of marriage with his devoted late wife, Consuelo Vasquez. Together they raised five daughters: Ana, Catherine, Carolina, Cynthia, and Dolores who inherited his love, strength, and generosity. His love for his family was the cornerstone of his life. Sundays were sacred spent surrounded by his daughters, 13 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren. Those gatherings were filled with laughter, games of poker, melodies from his guitar and a man whose presence made every gathering feel like a celebration. He had a gift for storytelling, his voice bringing to life moments from the past that his family will forever treasure.

Jose Vasquez leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, wisdom, and strength. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts and homes of everyone who had the honor of knowing him. He taught us to find joy in the little things, to work with pride, and to love deeply. Though we mourn his loss, we celebrate the beautiful life he lived and the lasting imprint he left on all of us.

Though he may no longer be with us in body, his songs, his stories, and his unconditional love will echo through generations. Rest peacefully, Father. Your life was a gift to us all, and your memory will forever be a guiding light in our hearts.

Visitation services will be held at Crotty Funeral Home & Cremation Services on April 25, 2025, from 5 PM to 7 PM, providing an opportunity for family and friends to come together in remembrance, to share stories, and to celebrate the beautiful life of a man who loved deeply and worked tirelessly for his family.
