Jose Monroy Serrano, a beloved patriarch and devoted family man, passed away peacefully on October 9, 2025, in Ontario, California. Born on January 9, 1947, Jose led a life rich in love, warmth, and cherished memories.
Jose was a person of great kindness and hospitality. He had an innate ability to make everyone feel welcome in his home, especially in his favorite retreat—the garage. It was here that he enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, surrounded by family and friends, while passionately supporting his favorite soccer team, Las Chivas. His love for the game was only matched by his deep affection for his family.
He is survived by his son, Jose Monroy Jr., and his daughter-in-law, Michelle Monroy. Jose also leaves behind his daughter, Sandra Monroy Huizar, her husband Baudelio Huizar Jr., and his son, Raul Monroy. He was a proud grandfather to seven grandchildren and delighted in the joy of six great-grandchildren, whom he loved dearly and who brought laughter and happiness to his life.
Jose's legacy is one of unwavering love and compassion. He will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him for his welcoming spirit and the joy he radiated.
