Jose R. Perez

Depression in what was then the small town of San Elizario, Texas.

He was a veteran who served in the U.S. Navy and later worked as a supervisor in the U.S. Customs Service. He was a devout Catholic who dearly missed his beloved wife Dora who passed away four years prior.

He had a strong work ethic and believed in encouraging and helping people improve their lives

through education, sacrifice, accountability, and hard work.

One of his passions was jogging and participated in several transmountain runs over the years. He said jogging helped clear his mind and relieved some of the stress life brought.

He is survived by his four sons.

Lovingly remembered by:

Sons

Bobby Perez

Daniel Perez

Samuel Perez

.... and numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nephews, and nieces.

Thank you Dad for being there for us! May the Lord receive you in his loving arms and give you peace and joy in eternity!

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

Amen.
