Obituary of Jose Sonato

Jose Sonato March 17, 1979 - January 31, 2025 Jose Sonato was born on March 17, 1979 in Charo, Michoacan, Mexico. Jose was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend who now leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter and unforgettable memories. January 31, 2025 was the day his family had to say goodbye as he took his last breath. Jose is survived by his wife, Luz Maria; his three daughters, Karina, Sarahi and Liliana; and his only son, Josue. He was not only a great husband but also an amazing father who will be greatly missed. He ensured to let his family know that no matter what he was going through, they were always his first option. Jose was completely and entirely dedicated to his loved ones. Jose was the kind of person who worked tirelessly to provide for his family, ensuring that everyone around him was cared for and happy. He was kind, patient, generous, and always ready to lend a helping hand. Whether fixing something around the house or sharing a laugh with friends, he made life brighter for everyone. Jose came to the US at the young age of 14, with a dream to help his family that he left behind in Mexico live a better life. On his path he found a love for agriculture and continued to work in the fields for over 30 years. Working in the fields wasn’t his only passion, even on his days off he found the time to teach himself many skills that in life he used to help many others. This helped him throughout life because he was able to build his own family a place to call home. Those who had the pleasure of knowing him will now miss him greatly. The pain we feel is a reflection of the love we had for Jose. We will strive to keep his memory alive, laughing as we recall his jokes and stories. For now we wait until we can see and hold him again, Revelation 21:3,4. Graveside Funeral Services will be held on Friday, February 14, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Kelseyville Cemetery.
