Joe L. Leija

My heart aches for you Vanessa, your Mom, my nephews, niece Alina, my brother, your Sister and the whole family. Sending all my love and prayers during this difficult time. Your dad was an amazing grandpa, father-in-law to my brother and friend to us. I loved seeing this picture of him smiling because this is how I remember him laughing when David would talk to him. I’ll always remember your dad for being such a kind man to our family. He was even at our wedding. Memories we will always treasure. David, me and the girls send our deepest condolences 💐 We love you all

My Heart felt Condolences, to the Family of Joe Leija. I always joke about he being a boxer, but he took it in stride. Gonna miss chatting with him, when he could and Gonna miss making him Banana Nut Bread, I know he liked my Recipe. Joe was a good listener and understood the hardships of Life. He was there for my Grandkids, when I wasn’t able to. When I did visit he was always very welcoming. He even met my Good Friend Juan, who was also quite fond of him for his warm demeanor. and a follower of Christ. May he take the had of Jesus and meet with the Father in Heaven. Your Friend n Brother in Christ. Amen🙏✝️ Cristelo P

Condolences on your loss.

Sister Leija, Vanessa, Alyssa, my family will always remember brother Joe, that infectious smile and laugh, his sincere friendship, and the man God used to make us feel part of his family. He will always have a special place in our hearts. Love you all.

My heart feels an overwhelming sense of loss with your departure from this world, yet it overflows with gratitude for the time we shared. The memories we’ve created will forever be etched in my heart, a lasting testament to your love and dedication. You faithfully fulfilled the divine assignment God entrusted to you during your time on earth. I’m eternally thankful for the ways you shared God’s love, grace, and forgiveness with me, and for the profound impact your words about salvation had on my life, leading me to surrender to the Lord. I’ll deeply miss our weekly conversations and cherished moments we shared, but I’m celebrating the legacy you’ve left behind as a faithful servant who ran the race with perseverance. Your work may be done here, Joe, but your impact will live on; you’ve earned a glorious new life and a heavenly mansion free from pain and suffering. Until we meet again, brother, know that you’ll forever be in my heart and prayers. I love you and will miss you dearly, Your baby sister Victoria Mendoza
