Joe was a second father to me. We made so many wonderful memories over the last 25 years. He was always there for me and always offered to help me in any way he could.  I will always remember the stories, sayings, laughter, and our vacations in South Padre!! He loved going to the beach and sipping on a cold one! I will miss you dearly Joe! You were such an amazing man and I hope you know how very much I love you ❤ I am so thankful for having you in my life! 

Our deepest and most sincere condolences to the family. Joe was a kind and easygoing man.  Always enjoyed the times we would get together for a visit. May he rest in peace.  Farewell primo.

Beloved Primo Joe remains a genuine American hero for his remarkable service to the nation.  He was loved and respected in the community and throughout the Reyes and Cortez family.  We remember simple days, his warmth, smile and genuine caring.  Now he’s with family and may he Rest In Peace.

Joe was our neighbor on Tanbark Dr. he was an awesome neighbor. We enjoyed his pleasant and calm friendly face hanging out and telling stories from his younger days as a marine to a proud police officer and also being a proud father to his sons. We were saddened when he moved away. Of course keeping in touch with him was a must. We will miss you Joe may you Rest In Peace. Our deepest condolences to the family, may God grant you peace and comfort during this difficult time.  Always the Johns Family - Willie, Rebecca, Lauren & Megan

I’m Yolanda’s brother and got to know Joe thru her. We had many good times, and made several trips to Las Vegas. I was always impressed with the fact he was very lucky and always won. Besides his good luck at the casinos, Joe was always a winner in my book. I’ll miss you and as for the de la Garza family we thank you for your time shared with us.

  To us cousins Joe while growing up was "Bebe" or "el Bebe"...  He  was a fun loving cousin with whom we had many happy experiences when my uncle & aunt and family would come visit us in Round Rock or we visited in San Antonio...
  Especially fond memories were when our families would spend all afternoon at  Breckenridge Park, go to the San Antonio Zoo, visit "Playland" or just "hang out"..  
  Additional special memories were spending Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve at their house on Delgado Street -- the kids spent time lighting fireworks and the adults partook of the "vino" uncle Rodolfo fermented to be ready for the special holiday season... And everyone savored the tamales tia Josefina was an expert in preparing ... 
   Such wonderful recollections...  
   El Bebe surely will be  missed -- condolences to his family from us in southern California; our thoughts and prayers are with y'all, and God Bless everyone.

Cousin Eddie Reyes Torres, Mary and family
  


Joe, you were a brother to some and a father figure to others at West Patrol. You were a mentor and a confidant.  I will never forget a certain incident that occurred during roll call one morning. You stood up to the lieutenant and challenged him in front of the entire roll call when he tried to chastise all of us.  You stood up for those with less seniority who were afraid to speak up.  I know I am not alone when I say you were one of our most respected brothers in blue at West Patrol. We will truly miss you. May you Rest In Peace. 

Semper Fi Joe always loved you your cousin Raul

Rest In Peace uncle. I love you so much. You were my second dad. You treated as you if I was one of your own. Loved all the times when we would go visit you guys and when you guys came to California. Thanks for all the advice you have given me. Give my dad, Chona , Jovita, Joey and most of all Jesus a big hug for me. We love you so much.      
                 Freddy&Norma Losoya and Family.

RIP joe , thanks for the many memories when we were assigned to downtown foot patrol. So Long buddy it was great to know you  .
