Jose M. Lugo, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 23rd surrounded by the family he cherished. He was the heart of his home, a steady source of love, laughter, and unwavering support.

He shared a beautiful life with his devoted spouse, and together they built a family grounded in kindness, loyalty, and joy. As a father and grandfather, he was unmatched—always present, always encouraging, and always ready with a story, a smile, or a helping hand.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, he could talk for hours about any game, but baseball held a special place in his heart. Whether he was cheering from the stands or watching from his favorite chair, he found pure happiness in the crack of a bat and the rhythm of the season. He also loved fishing, finding peace and contentment on the water, where the world seemed to slow down just enough for him to savor it.

Music was another constant in his life. From the songs that filled his home to the melodies that lifted his spirit, he found joy, comfort, and connection in every note. His love of music was woven into family gatherings, quiet moments, and celebrations alike—another way he shared his warmth with the people he loved.

He leaves behind a legacy of love, integrity, and quiet strength. His family will forever carry his spirit in their hearts and honor him by living with the same warmth and generosity he showed every day.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
