Jose (Pepe) Esqueda entered fully into the presence of the Lord on Tuesday, November 2, 2021, in El Paso, TX at the age of 95. While he will be missed by many, we are grateful that he is again in the arms of his beloved wife, who died in 2001.
Jose was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy. He enjoyed watching all sports and cheering on his Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers. Anyone who knew Jose, knew that he was a hardworking man who loved his family with all his heart.
Jose joins his wife Rebecca, and his sons Manuel (Mary Lou) and Javier (Lupe) in Heaven. Jose will eternally remembered by his daughters Cecilia Gonzalez (Narcisco) and Angelica Gonzalez (Ruben), his grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren.
He stands in our hearts as a reminder of strength, perseverance, love and compassion. Though we will mourn his loss daily, we know we will be reunited in time.
