Dear family,
I had the honor of teaching P.J. in 7th grade! (I also taught Ben and Rosa).. I will be thinking of you all and keeping you in my prayers. I'm sorry I had to miss the service for P.J. as I am out of town.
I know P.J. held a special place in the hearts of his family and I know his big personality is going to be missed by everyone who knew him.
Keeping you in my thoughts,

PJ joined Mary Kay on 8/11/2016. He was part of Denise Gonzalez’s team. He was part of our Texas Team! He was a spark plug in our Unit..always made us smile and laugh. He was a devoted and loyal friend. He loved Mary Kay and his “Girls”. He called Lisa and I “His Queens” You most definitely could count on PJ!!! PJ, in his full time job, was a health care worker for Seniors. When my Mom became very ill and we were taking care of her and we had to make a decision to place her in Assisted Living, PJ called all the time.....checking on me just to see how I was doing AND my Mom, and to give advice. He was always there for me during that journey and my Mom’s passing. That is when I really noticed how much compassion PJ had in his heart. He was always there for me as he would be for any one in our Units… This past year, I really discovered the man he was. PJ so wanted to make his mark in Mary Kay. Well, my friend, you certainly did that. PJ, you were so loved by us all and you will always be our STAR! Rest easy my friend. You will never be forgotten. Love You..your Sales Director in Mary Kay, Anne Louise

I remember holding PJ as a baby being a big cousin was so exciting.
Growing up we were lucky to spend lots of time with Tio and his crew. PJ was the life of the party at my wedding even though he was a little guy.
My fondest memories were of him dancing and making us laugh. I'm thankful for the time I had with him and will cherish all the laughter he brought into pur lives.
Love you always little cousin until we meet again

Pj will truly be missed! His loving and fun spirit lit up a room. Oh and the dancing! We had so much fun and at the same time it was amazing to see Pj grow and become such a confident young man. Which gave him the courage to let others know that they too were powerful, beautiful and cared for! My prayers to the family and all the friends he made through his journey in this life.

P.J. was a very caring person that I had the pleasure of working with at Willows @ Home. He was passionate about taking care of are residents and went out of his was way to help them and also the employee’s that the residents weren’t use to to get into there rooms and let them know that we were new to them and that we were ok. All of our residents loved him. He would also help the employee’s with any computer issues any of us were having with our new system. He had a knack for doing that. P.J. was very special to all of us that knew him. He will be missed by many of us. His life was cut way too short. I wish to offer my condolences and heart felt Sympathy to the family of P.J.
