Jose “Joe” G Castaneda
July 8th , 1934- December 23rd , 2022
The Lord took Joe G Castaneda at the age of 88 years old up to his kingdom on 12/23/2022. Joe passed surrounded by his family at home in his sleep. He was a loving husband of 61 years to Pauline Castaneda. Born and raised in Donna Texas, served his country in the Army, and then moved to California to start a family. He became an onion farmer in the 70’s and worked with the Otas. He loved to work very hard and settled in at Ace Tomato in Manteca and continued to work there his whole life and finally retired in 2019. After retirement he enjoyed mowing the lawn multiple times a week and making sure the squirrels and doves in the yard were fat and happy. He enjoyed the great grandkids visiting and filling their pockets with candy. Joe loved taking Pauline around California testing out their luck at casinos and enjoying that time spent together, they were truly in love until the second he passed and will be cherished forever.
Father of Hope Castaneda, Joe Luis Castaneda (Marilyn), and Leticia Hernandez. Grandfather to Joe Luis Jr (Joe x2), Pete (Alicia), Louis (Laura), Clarissa (Taylor), Marilyn Jr (Jorge). and Paula (Austin). Great Grandfather to Nathan, Zayden, Carter, Pete Jr, and Taylor Jr. Brother of Rodolfo (Magdalena), Ramiro, Esequil, Rosendo (Herlinda), Fidel (Lorenza), Amelia (Andres), Abelia (Herman), Ofelia (David), Olga (Armando).
He will live in our hearts forever.
