Jose Enrique Paredes

Jose Enrique Paredes was born on June 12, 1994, in Oxnard, California, to Enrique and Yolanda Paredes. During his adolescent years, he moved with his family to Eden, Idaho, where he spent much of his youth and became the man so many came to know and love.

In 2016, Jose proudly enlisted in the United States Air Force. Serving his country was more than a career, it was a calling. He was deeply patriotic and took immense pride in wearing the uniform. After his time on active duty, he continued his service in the Air Force Reserve, remaining committed to the country he loved.

Jose married Morgan Walsh on February 17, 2018, after the two first met in 2014. Together they built a life centered around love, faith, and family. They were blessed with four beautiful children: Avery, Anaya, Ellie, and Ezra and took on 2 step children Adrian and Arianna. Becoming a father was one of Jose’s greatest joys. His children were the center of his world, and he often said he wanted as many children as God was willing to send. The love he had for them was immeasurable.

Jose was incredibly intelligent, with an endless curiosity and a love of learning. He loved to read and was always eager to discover something new. He had a wonderful sense of humor that could make people laugh, and he was known for his quick wit and the joy he brought to those around him. In his free time, he enjoyed woodworking, working on cars, and playing video games. Whether he was building something with his hands, fixing an engine, or spending time with those he loved, Jose poured his heart into everything he did. Jose was a devoted husband, a loving father, a cherished son, and a beloved brother. His greatest joy in life was his family, and he loved them with his whole heart. He was the kind of man whose love, laughter, and unwavering devotion left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him. Though his time with us was far too short, the memories he created and the love he gave will live on forever

Above all else, Jose will be remembered for his devotion to his family, his love for his country, his sharp mind, and the countless memories he created with those fortunate enough to know him. His love, laughter, and legacy will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.

Jose is survived by his loving wife, Morgan Paredes; his cherished children, Avery, Anaya, Ellie, and Ezra; his parents, Enrique and Yolanda Paredes; his brother, Lizander Paredes; and many extended family members and friends who will forever treasure his memory.

*********************************************************************************

José Enrique Paredes nació el 12 de junio de 1994 en Oxnard, California, de padres Enrique y Yolanda Paredes. Durante su adolescencia, se mudó con su familia a Eden, Idaho, donde pasó gran parte de su juventud y se convirtió en el hombre que muchos llegaron a conocer y amar.

En 2016, José se enlisto con orgullo en la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos. Servir a su país era más que una carrera, era una vocación. Era profundamente patriótico y estaba inmensamente orgulloso de usar el uniforme. Después de su tiempo en servicio activo, continuó su servicio en la Reserva de la Fuerza Aérea, permaneciendo comprometido con el país que amaba.

José se casó con Morgan Walsh el 17 de febrero de 2018, después de que los dos se conocieran por primera vez en 2014. Juntos construyeron una vida centrada en el amor, la fe y la familia. Ellos fueron bendecidos con cuatro hermosos hijos: Avery, Anaya, Ellie y Ezra. Convertirse en padre fue una de las mayores alegrías de José. Sus hijos eran el centro de su mundo, y a menudo decía que quería tantos hijos como Dios estuviera dispuesto a enviarle. El amor que tenía por ellos era sin medida.

José era increíblemente inteligente, con una curiosidad infinita y un amor por el aprendizaje. Le encantaba leer y siempre estaba ansioso por descubrir algo nuevo. Tenía un maravilloso sentido del humor que podía hacer reír a la gente, y era conocido por su ingenio rápido y la alegría que traía a los que lo rodeaban. En su tiempo libre, disfrutaba trabajando con madera, trabajando en coches y jugando videojuegos. Ya sea que estuviera construyendo algo con sus manos, arreglando un motor o pasando tiempo con aquellos que amaba, José invertía su corazón en todo lo que hacía. José era un esposo devoto, un padre amoroso, un hijo querido y un hermano amado. Su mayor alegría en la vida era su familia, y los amaba con todo su corazón. Era el tipo de hombre que su amor, risa y devoción inquebrantable dejaron una marca duradera en todos los que lo conocieron. Aunque su tiempo con nosotros fue demasiado corto, los recuerdos que creó y el amor que dio vivirán para siempre.

A José le sobreviven su amorosa esposa, Morgan Paredes; sus queridos hijos, Avery, Anaya, Ellie y Ezra; sus padres, Enrique y Yolanda Paredes; su hermano, Lizander Paredes; y muchos miembros de la familia extendida y amigos que siempre atesorarán su memoria.
