Jose Luis Vitela

Jose was a man that enjoyed the outdoors. He enjoyed mud racing and anything to do with hot rods. They always caught his attention. He was also a little league coach and an announcer for baseball and football. He was a very giving and loving person and made friends everywhere he went. He was known as "Grandpa" to everyone he met, family or not.

Jose was a loving husband, father, and grandpa to all the children in his life. He will be truly missed by all of his family and friends. He will always be in our hearts and never forgotten.

Jose is survived by his wife, Adela P. Vitela; his sons, Jose Luis Vitela Jr. (Mari), Edward Vitela, and Francisco Javier Vitela; his daughter, Maria Elena Rocha; his brothers, Alfredo Vitela, Jorge Vitela, and his sister Carmen Vitela; his 14 Grandchildren, and 15 Great Grandchildren.

Jose was preceded in death by his father, Mariano Vitela and his mother Maria De La Luz Vitela; his sister Aurora "Lola" Garcia; his sister, Anna Gaona; his sister, Teresa Gonzales, and his sister Rosie Meidel who will all be waiting at the gates of heaven because heaven just received a new angel.
