In Loving Memory of Jose Florentino Altamirano Jr.

​

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved brother, Joe Altamirano Jr, who left us unexpectedly on his birthday, October 17, 2024.  He was 47 years old.

​

Joe was a remarkable individual, known for infectious laughter, kindness, and unwavering support for those he loved.  He touched the lives of everyone he met, leaving a lasting impression on family and friends alike.  

​

Born on October 17, 1977 in Taft, Texas, Joe grew up with a passion for helping where his hands were useful and always sharing a joke that made others laugh.  He has a unique ability to bring laughter to every situation, bringing warmth and humor to others even when his situation(s) may have looked dim.  His spirit will forever remain in our hearts.

​

He is survived by his mom, Josephine Herrera Altamirano; and his dad, Jose Florentino Altamirano Sr.; his sisters, Lorie Orta, Crystal Cardenas, and Veronica Altamirano; his brothers, Issac Altamirano and Nick Altamirano; his children, Jose Altamirano III, Tayler Blum, Josette Altamirano, Richard Altamirano, and JoRey Altamirano; and his girlfriend, Alyssia Lucio; along with a host of friends who cherished him dearly.

​

A celebration of his life will be held on October 29, 2024 at Ritchea-Gonzales Funeral Home, with visitation occurring from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.  We invite all who knew and loved Joe to join us in honoring his memory.

​

Though our hearts ache with his loss, we take comfort in the memories we shared and the love that will forever bind us.  

​

Rest in peace, dear brother.  You will be missed more than words can express.
