Jose passed away peacefully on March 25th, 2022 after a battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. He is survived by his wife, Ana Escuder, his two children Paty Hanna and Danny Escuder, and his sister Virginia Escuder. 

Jose was well loved by all who met him. He was smart, funny, and caring. Jose was a supportive husband, encouraging his wife Ana to pursue her passions... even when that meant long hours studying and writing her dissertation for her Ph.D. He loved his siblings and parents, especially his younger sister Vicki with whom he always loved to spend time.

As an Engineer, he could fix it all (with duct tape)! He taught his children about the internal combustion engine, and binary, and many other things as they followed in his engineering footsteps. They always had the best experiments at the school science fair due to his help, or the most unique (flamingo rider) halloween costume that he would spend hours making. Jose loved to garden, there was always a pineapple growing in a pot or a sunflower as tall as the house. He loved to eat chocolate with his granddaughter Sabina, to watch his grandson Dean play little league, and to hear his granddaughter Olivia make raspberry sounds. 

Jose is greatly missed.
