Jose Roberto Jimenez

While Jose went by more names than print Rob, Beto, Taco Nacho, Joe, Caballo, Brother, Carnal, and Chaka; we all knew and loved him for one thing, his smile, the kind of smile than never betrayed late nights or early mornings. And his smile epitomized the way he approached his life; with a rare enthusiasm for pretty much everything. He loved tacos, he loved beers, he loved pig snout (only because his dad made him eat them), he loved women, he loved the raiders, he loved music, he loved his bass guitar, but more than anything he loved his family and friends-and his friends and family loved him. All of them. How could you not? He was the rare person who put other first; give him the choice between having the slice of pizza, or going without, he would leave empty handed every time. He's gone-there's no changing that. But what we all have a say in is how we remember. Best stated by his friends. He was the most amazing son, brother, uncle, godfather, and friend anyone could have had.

Jose Roberto Jimenez is survived by his loving parents, Jesus Jimenez and Martha Alvarez; siblings, Juan, Ramon, Jose Alfredo, Mireya, Jesus Jr., and Gabby.
