Jose Alfredo Alcala

Durante su adolescencia, emigró junto a su familia a San Diego, California, donde continuó sus estudios en Lincoln High School. A lo largo de su vida, José fue un hombre trabajador y dedicado. Se desempeñó en diversas compañías en el área de bodegas y también trabajó como chofer realizando entregas de mercancía. En su espíritu emprendedor, tuvo su propio negocio junto con su socio, dedicado a la limpieza de cocinas comerciales.

Su último empleo fue entregando medicamentos a diferentes clínicas, trabajo que disfrutó profundamente por la convivencia con sus compañeros y el trato cercano con los clientes. En octubre de 2020, por motivos de salud, se vio obligado a retirarse.

En su juventud, José participó activamente en el grupo de jóvenes de la iglesia de San Judas, donde formó grandes amistades y conoció al amor de su vida, Lety García-Alcalá. Se casaron en 1987 y en 1991 dieron la bienvenida a su adorada hija, Liselle Ariadna Alcalá, quien siempre fue su mayor orgullo.

Amante de la música, José formó parte del coro juvenil y con el paso de los años descubrió su pasión por cantar. Disfrutaba enormemente asistir a karaokes, donde podía pasar horas, incluso hasta la madrugada, compartiendo su alegría y talento, y creando lazos con muchos amigos.

También tenía un gran amor por la jardinería; poseía un “dedo verde” especial. Cultivó con dedicación chiles, calabazas, árboles de mandarina, limón, granada, uvas y nopales. Cuidar sus plantas era una de sus grandes satisfacciones, hasta que su salud ya no se lo permitió.

José disfrutaba profundamente los momentos en familia: ver películas en casa junto a su esposa Lety, su hija Liselle y su yerno Meño Carmona, así como compartir reuniones con sus seres queridos, amigos cercanos y su familia extendida. Era conocido por su sentido del humor, siempre haciendo bromas y llevando alegría a quienes lo rodeaban, incluyendo amigos y hasta el personal médico que lo atendía.

Falleció el 20 de abril de 2026 en Chula Vista, California rodeado del amor de sus seres queridos.

José Alfredo Alcalá deja un legado de amor, alegría y fortaleza. Siempre vivirá en nuestros corazones.

José Alfredo Alcalá, lovingly known as “Pepe” by his family and

friends, was born on March 25, 1965, in Mexico City, Mexico.

During his teenage years, he emigrated with his family to San Diego,

California, where he continued his education at Lincoln High School.

Throughout his life, José was a hardworking and dedicated man. He

worked for various companies in warehouse operations and also as a

delivery driver transporting goods. With an entrepreneurial spirit, he

also owned a business with a partner specializing in commercial

kitchen cleaning.

His last job was delivering medications to various clinics, a role he

truly enjoyed because of the relationships he built with his coworkers

and the clients he served. In October 2020, due to health reasons, he

was forced to retire.

In his youth, José was actively involved in the youth group at St.

Jude’s Church, where he formed lasting friendships and met the love of

his life, Lety García-Alcalá. They married in 1987 and in 1991

welcomed their beloved daughter, Liselle Ariadna Alcalá, who was

always his greatest pride.

A lover of music, José was part of the church youth choir and over the

years discovered his passion for singing. He greatly enjoyed attending

karaoke nights, where he could spend hours often into the early

morning sharing his joy and talent while building friendships.

José also had a deep love for gardening and was known for having a

special “green thumb.” He carefully grew chili peppers, squash,

mandarin and lemon trees, pomegranates, grapes, and nopales. Tending

to his plants brought him great happiness until his health no longer

allowed it.

He deeply cherished time with his family—watching movies at home with

his wife Lety, his daughter Liselle, and his son-in-law Meño Carmona,

as well as gathering with loved ones, close friends, and extended

family. He was known for his sense of humor, always joking and

bringing joy to those around him, including friends and even the

medical team who cared for him.

José passed away on April 20, 2026, in Chula Vista, California,

surrounded by the love of his family.

José Alfredo Alcalá leaves behind a legacy of love, joy, and

strength. He will forever live in our hearts.
