How To Prepare:

Here are some suggestions on how to prepare for the virtual memorial. We encourage you to dress up and bring your Sunday’s best! You know Jose liked to get cute! We encourage you to bring what you need to mourn – food, tissues, snacks, and people you live with to view together. Get your background ready with good lighting, a good camera angle (to view and be seen by others), and join by a computer or laptop if you are able to. If you have a laptop, smartphone, or smart TV, you may be able to “cast” the event to a television. Plan to arrive on time and early if you can so we can work out any tech issues together. Finally, bring photos of Jose if you have any, we would love to see them while you join. If you plan to adorn an altar, please share with us!

Happy 60th Birthday Jose!

Today would have been Jose’s 60th birthday. It was a big one and we were so excited to celebrate this big milestone together. We are finding a new way to celebrate him and we invite you to join us in honoring him all day.

Initially, we hoped to celebrate our beloved at his home church in Wilmington, California. With the pandemic continuing to be a public health threat, we cannot gather and do not want to compromise anyone’s health. When we are able to safely celebrate, we will let everyone know. Thank you for your understanding and for your continued prayers, blessings, memories, condolences, and offerings in this difficult time. 

Celebrate Jose’s life and legacy all day with us.

Share your photos and favorite memories on social media to honor him. Use #JOSE60TH so we can see all the photos and save them. 

Light a white candle for Jose and play his favorite songs.(Click to play)  

Tune into this Facebook page at 7pm PST for a Facebook live celebration. We will record the event and save it if you cannot make it.
