Joe Alejandro Mena's Obituary
Joe Alejandro Mena, age 80 passed away peacefully the morning of January 28, 2019. He is survived by his wife, Eva G. Mena who he was married to for 56 wonderful years. His children include Jose A. Mena wife Elvira, Michael A. Mena wife Valerie, Ruth M. Wilkins husband Kennith, Michelle M. Garza husband Ceasar, Eva M. Lugo husband Gary, Rogelio G. Mena wife Rosario, 19 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren. He is survived by his brother Brandon E. Mena and is in heaven celebrating with his mother Ignacia, father Gilberto, brothers Gilberto, Gustavo, Carlos, Ernesto, Mike, and his sister Elva. Joe served 9 years in the U.S. Army, retired from the U.S. Postal Service, and was a carpenter. Joe enjoyed working with his hands in carpentry, painting, gardening, and fishing. He loved family gatherings and being surrounded by the laughter of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Although, he suffered with illness for over 40 years he never showed his pain. He was the strongest man in our eyes; he was our Superman. Dad will be remembered for his strength and his devotion to speaking to others about God’s love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. The Mena Family will like to thank Pastor Victor Rodriguez, Pastor Joe Moreno, and the Lugo Family. We would also like to extend our thanks and gratitude to Hospice Compassus and our entire family and friends. Arrangements made under the care of Camero Funeral Home.
