Jose Guadalupe Chavez Munoz

On January 24, 2019, Jose Guadalupe Chavez peacefully passed away surrounded by his loving family.

"Don Lupe" lived a happy and fulfilling life with his wife, Maria, of 62 years. He was a great role model to his 5 children, 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. As a farmer, he went to work every day, always watchful and proud of the fruits of his labor. His legacy will live on as a loving husband, devoted father and caring brother with a wonderful sense of humor and excellent work ethic. Que descanse en paz.

He is survived by his wife Maria L. Chavez and his four children Hilda, Zac, Noelia and J. Lupe; his brothers and sisters Socorro Gonzalez, Refugia Renteria, Jesus Chavez, Joel Chavez and Guillermina Garcia; along with his 13 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
