José Guadalupe Montañez siempre fue un miembro querido y apreciado de la comunidad de Channelview, Texas. José dedicó su vida al arduo trabajo y a un amor inquebrantable por su familia y amigos. Heredó lo trabajador de su padre, la generosidad de su madre sin esperar nada a cambio, el carisma de su bisabuelo Don Luis y la fe de su bisabuela Doña Socorro. Desde niño, fue continuamente reconocido por su asistencia perfecta, una prueba temprana de que crecería siendo una persona confiable. José era amable con todos los que conocía y un ejemplo viviente de lo que significa amar al prójimo como Dios lo manda.

José trabajó cortando césped, como asistente de aire acondicionados en Four Brothers A/C & Heating y como manager en El Elefante Blanco, donde se gano muchos amigos. Jose hacia todo trabajo con orgullo en cada proyecto que hacia, asegurándose de que su trabajo reflejara sus valores y dedicación.

Toda su vida fue un hermano amoroso y simplemente el mejor hermano a María Elena, Ricky, Marcos y Evelin. Quería a todos sus sobrinos y sobrinas como si fueran sus propios hijos. Una de sus cosas favoritas era comprarles regalos de Navidad. Esperemos que todos se acuerden de el amor que les tenia. José tuvo un profundo impacto en las vidas de muchos, incluyendo numerosos familiares y muchos amigos.

José será recordado por su gran bondad, ya que fue amable con cada persona que conoció. Su amor por su familia, su dedicación al trabajo y la huella imborrable que dejó en quienes tuvieron el honor de llamarlo amigo vivirá para siempre en los corazones de sus seres queridos.

José dio tanto de sí mismo a todos a su alrededor que esperamos, de alguna manera, honrarlo intentando ser un poco más como él. Nos enseñó a todos lo que es el verdadero amor como hijo, esposo, padre, hermano y amigo. Les pedimos que sigan pidiéndole a Dios por él y a su familia en sus oraciones. Sobretodo en los días de su novenario.
