Jose was born on August 15, 1945, in Moca, Dominican Republic. Throughout his life, he was known for his adventurous spirit, joyful personality, and endless curiosity.

Jose worked as a janitor, a profession through which he demonstrated a strong work ethic and dedication. Outside of work, he found great joy in plants and gardening. Whether tending to flowers, nurturing vegetables, or simply spending time outdoors, he had a deep appreciation for nature and took pride in helping things grow.

He is survived by his daughters, Maria Rasheed and Elizabeth Wise, and his sons, Alberto Núñez and Rubén Núñez.
