Jose Barragan

Born December 2, 1945, and passed away suddenly on December 4, 2024, after celebrating his 79th birthday. 

Joe was a gentle giant of a man who wore many hats throughout his life. Born in Fabens, TX to parents Tomas and Maria Barragan. He is survived by his wife, Lucila Barragan whom he met in 1967 at Star Disco Records. They have 4 beautiful children

Teresa Barragan, Kristine Manzano, Joe Barragan Jr. and last but least Danielle Barragan.

He was a beloved grandfather to Brandon, Jennifer, Christopher, Serena, Audrey, Andrew, Amanda and Emery. He was Grandpa-Grandpa to his great-granddaughter, Maddie.

Some of the many hats throughout his life included being a true “Go Wildcats” Alumni, recording artist at Star Disco Recording, where he produced custom made recordings to 4 and 8 track tapes. He worked at Franklin Optical and also started a softball team “Spirit of ‘76”. This led him to become an umpire at various parks and at The Sportsplex. He worked at El Paso County Courthouse for over 30 years as a Baliff. 

After his retirement, he dedicated his life to the service of the Lord at Sacred Heart Church. He will truly be missed by his family and friends as he was a gentle, funny and grumpy man.

May he rest in peace.
