You were taken away from us so soon. You will never be forgotten. You were always there for me when I needed you, no matter when, where, or why, you were there. I totally understood your way of thinking and your strong person-ality, and for that I love you. You were a kind and compassionate nephew. Someone who loved music, and who played music too. You have carved yourself forever into our hearts. Your Aunt, Lulu
Joe you were an awesome person. Nice, caring, helpful. A good person. I will miss you brother. Jam out in the heavens with the gods of rock and be at peace..
Damn, Joe. I’m gonna miss you. The biggest wrestling fan I’ve ever met. Still remember that party you came wearing that black leather duster looking like the WWE Superstar The Undertaker. Got to always talk wrestling with you, and if I remember right I think you even chokeslammed me. Great times. Miss you brother. May you rest in peace. To Joe’s family, I offer my condolences.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy to all those who loved Joe and knew Joe. Although I regret that I did not know Joe, I do know his mother, Imelda, my friend. Dearest Imelda, I am so very, very sorry for the loss of your son, such a handsome son and know that you are in my prayers. The only words of comfort I have are in the book of Revelation, Chapter 21:4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” In other words, one day we(Gods children) will all be together in Heaven with God with perfect bodies. Love you, Mandy Flores

Joe…we are really going to miss you. You were such a good person and we are blessed to have known you. You are in a better place and no longer suffering. Until we meet again…
My sweet, always smiling nephew. I can still see you as a toddler, laughting,running,grapping anything you could find, seeing your mom running after you, trying to keep up with you, calling you, Jay, Jay, come here. She could not keep up with you but your dad always caught up with you, pick you up, hold you in his arms and say, “hey, buddy, slow down.” And now you are with your dad and grandma Fela, telling them, “I’m home now and I will now spend time with you. I know that my mom and brother will always love and miss me, but I also know that all my tia’s, Annie, Margie, Lulu, Frances and uncle, Bobbie will take care of her for me. My sweet, Jay, yes, I know you liked to be called Joe but to me, you will always be my Jay, I will always hold you dear in my heart, will love and miss you terribly. I will miss the flowers, corsages and cake you would bring all your tia’s for mother’ day. I am so sorry you left us so soon, but I am glad that your suffering and worrying is over. Take care, rest in peace and don ‘t worry about your mom. Love, Tia Frances Romano, and all your cousins
Cousin Jay, I can’t believe you are gone. But I am glad you are no longer suffering. I loved watching you play your bass and I remember bugging you and your brother when we were younger. I’ll always remember those good times. I love you and miss you.
Jay, I am so sad and sorry that you left us so soon. I am gonna miss you,but I know that you are no longer in pain and you are at peace and with your dad and grandma. Love Melissa (missy)
MY DEEPS CONDLENCES TO THE MEDINA FAMILY
Hey Joe it’s Alex the drummer from the Pearle days back in the early/mid 90’s. I was a lab tech just like yourself. You were a huge KISS/Gene Simmons fan as a bass player yourself. We never got to jam but somehow I think we will someday in the future. You were a cool dude and knew your stuff. Rest in peace and rest in music.
Joe, One of the best people I will ever know. I still can’t believe you are gone. I hate that you never got to meet my daughter. She would have loved you just as much as we do. I remember you made every halloween the best halloween I could ever have. We would go to all of the halloween stores we could find just you, me, and Aunt Mel. You made every party we had a great one. We will be greatly missed. Love you and miss you brother
My sincerest condolences go out to the Maceda family. Joe was an awesome person in our lives who shared the same deep love of music and friendship. Our bass player, friend, brother. Joe, I really wish I would’ve made time and had that beer with you.. sometimes we take the loved ones in our lives for granted. I hope that you will keep rockin’ in Heaven bro. God took you so quickly, He must have needed someone now to fill a spot that only YOU could fill. When I see you again, we will have a heavenly drink my friend. Peace and love.
I met Joe in Houston at EyeMasters in the late 1980’s. From the minute I met you, I realized what a gentle and special man you were. You were one of the most hard working people I had ever met and I remember before you bought your car, you would ride your bike to work 15+ miles each way to and from work. Sometimes we would put your bike in the trunk and I would give you a ride Those rides gave me the opportunity to know and eventually love you. You were always so kind hearted and there was really nothing you wouldn’t do to always me smile. Eventually we both ended up in San Antonio at different times and, although we were no longer together, I have always had such a special place for you in my heart. I was actually going to try and find you on Facebook tonight, which led e to this obituary I was downloading some songs from the late 80’s and early 90’s and it took me back to the time and place we met. I remember you walking into the break room one day and handing me a tape by Sheriff – When I’m With You. I love that song and the feeling that goes with it to this day. I member your wonderful family and your mom teaching me how to make flour tortillas. Your dad had a great sense of humor. I just want to say that I wish I had found you again sooner because I have truly missed you for all of these years. No one has ever understood me and listened the way you did, and many times we didn’t even need to speak. I know you are missed by many and I will keep you all in my prayers. Wendy Lowe
