Jose Cervantes, 67, of Center Point, Texas, passed away peacefully on October 27, 2026, surrounded by his family at home, after a strong fought battle with cancer. Jose was born July 6, 1959 in Coahuila, Piedras Negras to Elidia Cervantes and Manuel Cervantes.
Jose resided in Center Point with his son Hector and his family.
Jose graduated from Tivy High School where he then went to attend a trade school for Auto Mechanics in Fort Worth. Jose devoted 37 years to his craft as a mechanic taking immense pride in the work of his hands. He was a hardworking and devoted man who gave his all to provide for his family, always putting their needs before his own. Known for his kind heart, Jose was never hesitant to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
He found peace and happiness in the simple things—sitting on the front porch drinking a cold one and listening to his country music on 92.3. Above all, Jose treasured the moments he shared with his family and friends; those times meant the most to him. He will be remembered for his unwavering love, his generosity, and the joy he brought to those around him.
Jose was preceded in death by his son, Ernesto Cervantes; father, Manuel Cervantes; brother, Juan Cervantes; and great-grandson, Hector Cervantes III.
