He approached every task with pride and a strong sense of service, always willing to help and never seeking recognition. Jose was someone you could count on—always present, always dependable, always kind.

Jose was a true people person. He had a natural way of connecting with others and making everyone feel welcome. One of his greatest joys was sharing what he had, especially fruits and vegetables from his garden. Giving came naturally to him, and his generosity left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

He loved gardening, working with the earth, and spending time outdoors, but above all, he loved being with his family. Whether sharing a meal, lending a helping hand, or simply enjoying time together, Jose found happiness in the simple moments that meant the most.

Jose Escalante was a devoted husband, a loving father, a proud grandfather, a caring brother, and a loyal friend. He was deeply loved, widely admired, and will be profoundly missed. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the family he cherished, and the love he gave so freely.
