Joe A. Camarillo was a very hard and dedicated worker at the District Clerk Office, Camille Playhouse, and BISD. He also volunteered at the Stillman House Museum. Mr. Camarillo loved his wife very much and his grandchildren were his world.
Popo got his Wings last night... Our Daddy's gone. When Dad was given the choice to fight to survive or give up...he always chose to live... yesterday was different... he didn't have a choice God needed him and didn't give him that choice if not we promise he would be here today.
Dad was the greatest Dad, Popo, Husband, Father n law, Brother, Uncle, Cousin & Friend. Dad was the most generous man we know... he never said no to anything, he would give you his last quarter in his pocket, give you his shirt off his back and would do anything for his grandkids. Dad did so much for us and we depended so much on him. We don't know how we will manage to live everyday without him.
When he was asked.."what did our Dad like to do?" our response was..."Everything he didn't like to do" that's because he liked doing what "we" liked to do like....going to the beach, going to the zoo, taking pictures, doing theme parks... he was just happy seeing us happy. But his pride and joy were his grandkids he loved watching Kalysta dance (she even taught him to do the floss), loved watching Aiden at boxing, loved spending time with Aiden & Devin at boys scouts and loved seeing them dressed up for it, DeAndre and he had a special bond only they will understand and Dad was very proud of his t-ball and Karate days, he loved going to the store to buy Cheeto puffs and peanut butter cookies for Dylan....one thing all his grandkids had in common was "Popo's Snack Drawer." He was so grateful he got to spend time with James & Malorie over the holidays and always talked about when we ate Bill Miller's with Alyssa.
Dad will be missed by many but mostly by his partner of 42 years... Mom. There are not enough words to even begin to explain the love between them two... yes they had their ups and downs but at the end of the day they couldn't be without each other. We know Mom will take this the hardest but like we told them both during our last lunch together 40 minutes before he felt sick...."we will figure this out" without even knowing what God's plans were for that afternoon.
Dad... We miss you... and We love you today, tomorrow and always 💔
