This was one cool guy here, I know wrong place wrong time but I just want to send my prayers to your family I know this is a devasted time for them. Some reason somtimes the good people get killed and you fall right in this category. So CAT may god rest your soul and I sure that one day we all met again but in a better place. God bless your family, and your kids and may justice be served to the cowards who took your life.

I was married to Jose for 14 years. Jose leaves behind three wonderful children who love him dearly and who think about him day in and day out. Brenda who is 14, Jillian who is 8, and his only boy who is onlt 3. Benjamin will never have the chance to see his father. I pray to God that justice is served and who ever did it get what they deserve. Jose we love you and we miss you ALOT! I wish things could have been different! Luv You!!
