Jose O. Corralez, of Van Horn Texas, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 11, 2020, at Odessa Regional in Odessa, Texas he was 70 years old.

Jose was born on February 16, 1950 in Emilio Carranza, Chihuahua, Mexico to Rosalia and Benito Corralez.  Of the 11 children born to his parents, Jose was the 5th child born.

Jose was a beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend to many.  Grandpa Joe as his family and friends called him, truly lived life to the fullest through the simplest of pleasures, such as his morning routine by driving his little red truck to Tia Julia’s for his morning coffee, then to Tia Maria’s for chisme with Ubaldo, then stopping by Carlos to chit chat, calling his sisters, talking with his brothers, debating if the sky is blue.  On pay day, we all knew where we could find him at the Chevron spending hours on machines just to win tickets for his diet cokes, tobacco and gas.

Jose enjoyed seeing his grandchildren grow and family come together especially on Sundays for Dallas Cowboy Football.  He was strong minded, hardworking and cared deeply about his family and friends.

Preceding Jose in death are his parents Rosalia and Benito Corralez.

Those left to cherish and honor the memory of Grandpa Joe are his three sons Brian Corralez of Odessa, Texas, Jacob Corralez of Odessa, Texas and Dion Corralez and wife Mary Lou of Van Horn, Texas; his daughter Abigail Corralez and her husband Saul Ornelas; his five brothers Cuco Corrales, Mingo Corralez, Manuel Corralez, Alvaro Corralez and Benito Jr Corralez; his five sisters Julia Quintana, Maria Loya, Linda Arnold, Vargie Navarette and Choloe Corralez; his nine grandchildren Rosalia, Jose Carlos, Ciara, Ryan, Ashley, Briana, Brittney, Diego and Austin; one great grandchild Jamir; as well as all of his beloved nieces and nephews and all of his friends.
