Joe Louis Reyes

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Pablo Sr. and Louisa M. Reyes; his sisters, Carolina Ramos and Amalia Simonson; and his brother, Pablo Reyes Jr.

He is survived by his wife, Margaret Reyes; his children, Nicholas Reyes and wife, Rosalind, Jesse Reyes, Michael Reyes, and Victoria Brock; and 11 grandchildren.

For 30 years, Joe worked as a truck driver, meeting the demands of the road with steady dedication and a work ethic that never needed an audience to be real. In the ways that mattered most, he also gave freely of himself—showing up, helping where he could, and placing the well-being of those he loved at the center of his life.

Outside of work, Joe found enjoyment in photography and in building and learning about computers. He liked eating at local buffets, and he also enjoyed going to Vegas to visit casinos. A devoted movie buff, he could always appreciate a good film and the simple pleasure of sharing that time with others.

Joe will be remembered for the love he had for his family, for his funny and sarcastic sense of humor, and most of all for the joy he found in—and the love he gave to—his grandchildren.
