Jose was born January 12th, 1990 in Jersey City where he spent most of his childhood surrounded by his siblings and cousins. During his teenage years he moved to Hoboken where he attended Brandt Middle School and Hoboken High School and played varsity football. He was a proud Redwing.

Jose was an athlete through and through and later on could be found at the basketball courts at Church Square Park playing a game of pick-up basketball or at a football field playing flag football.

Jose had the remarkable gifts of perseverance, relentless positivity and the ability to make friends which he had plenty of. Friends who rooted for him, supported him, and loved him dearly.
