Jose passed away peacefully at the RJH in Victoria BC on December 1, 2023. He was born in Galicia, Spain on November 13, 1943. He will be deeply missed by his wife Juana of 55 years, his son Carlos (Susan), and daughter Maria (Domingo). He was a very proud grandfather to Joel, Pauline, Sofia and Lucas. Jose immigrated to Victoria from Spain with his young family in 1976. He worked as a skilled stone mason, had a great talent for woodworking, and was an amazing chef. We will miss his quick wit and sense of humour. His greatest joy was fishing in the local waters of Brentwood Bay and Pedder Bay and bringing home his catch for everyone to share.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday January 5, 2024 at 12 noon at St. Patrick’s Parish, 2060 Haultain Street, Victoria, BC. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

I am sorry to hear about Jose’s passing. I remember when I came to Canada and he made me laugh and gave me good advice when he came over to our house. He had a big heart and a beautiful smile. May he rest in peace in heaven and be surrounded by angels.
Your family is in our thoughts. Deepest condolences on the loss of Jose, may he rest in peace.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Jose over the years. Sending your family my deepest condolences.
Dearest family! It is with extreme sadness that I offer our condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. There are no words that seem to bring comfort during these days but find peace that he is no longer in pain and free from suffering. I am holding you all close in my heart and pray you all find strength on these difficult days ahead. All of our love.
