Jose Salas Sr.

Jose Manuel Salas, 53 went to be with our Lord on August 24, 2021. He was born September 13, 1967, in Freeport Texas to Cipriano Salas Jr and Gloria Villanueva Martinez.

Jose was an outstanding Crane Operator for over 25 years. Whenever he had the opportunity, he proudly taught young operators the trade. He was a devoted and loving son, husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, and friend who will be greatly missed by everyone who loved and knew him. He was a jack of all trades, if he wasn’t working on a project in his garage, he was working on getting his boat ready for fishing. Jose enjoyed hunting and fishing, and family and friends who knew Jose knew about his famous delicious beef jerky. When a family member or friend needed help with anything, Jose was always there to lend a helping hand.
