Jose “Cheo” Antonio Gotay was a loving father, grandfather, brother and friend. Jose entered the warm embrace of the Lord our Father on September 26, 2022, at age 68.
Accolades aside, Jose’s greatest pride were his children. He dedicated his life to providing and caring for his five children (Jose, Janice, Jonathan, Johanna, and Joshua). He prioritized time with them and his grandchildren. Jose particularly looked forward to hosting Thanksgiving, which always fell near his birthday.
A renaissance man, Jose taught himself how to play the guitar, fix cars, remodel homes, and build computers. While living in Puerto Rico, Jose enjoyed a short stint as a guitarist in a brilliant band, according to him. His love of God, delicious food, the beach, and Latin music, including Los Panchos, were mainstays in his life.
Jose was selfless, kind and loving, going out of his way to help others, always with a smile. He loved life and always kept a positive attitude. Jose is now at peace and reunited with his beloved mother and father.
Jose is survived by his six brothers and sisters, Ana Marina Gotay Cox, Esperanza Gotay Goico, Jose Ramon Gotay Jr, Israel Enrique Gotay, Jorge Gotay and Mary Gotay; his beloved five children, Jose Gotay, Janice Fonseca (Melvin), Jonathan Gotay, Johanna Hild (Chris), Joshua Gotay (Laura), and his adored 11 grandchildren, Jamilex, Javier, Giovanni and Seth Gotay, Jessica Suarez, Joshua and Jana Fonseca, Jonathan Gotay Junior, and Charles Anthony, Lily Angelina and Ethan Joseph Hild.
