It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved José Manuel Mendoza.  He was unexpectedly taken away from us far too soon on October 15, 2025.

José was born on January 16, 1965 in Fort Worth, TX and grew up in Nacogdoches, TX. As a child, he was fascinated with anything related to the weather and eventually followed his passion, receiving his degree in Meteorology in Denver CO. He ultimately settled in San Antonio where he married and raised his family.

Words cannot fully express his good-natured spirit, generosity, sense of humor nor his sincerity. José was a selfless, caring and loving son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His faith and love for his family were at the center of his life.

He had a genuine heart, treating everyone with respect, and never having an unkind word to say about anyone.  His love of nature was shared with his family through hiking, camping, and road trips. We will all miss José's smile, laughter and beautiful soul tremendously. We are forever grateful to have had him in our lives and our hearts will truly suffer from his loss.

He was preceded in death by parents Manuel and Irma Mendoza and infant sister Linda. He is already so very missed by his wife, Adriana Mendoza; daughters Katherine Mendoza and Cynthia Contreras; granddaughters Nevaeh, Nylah, and Nayanh; sisters Rosario Haghighatian (Reza), Lucy Ramos (Paul), Maria Spongberg (David), Anita Gibbs, Celia Mendoza, Alma Mendoza; and extended close-knit family of cousins, nieces and nephews, as well as friends and colleagues.
