José "Joe" Desiderio Garduño, was called to eternal rest on Monday, April 1, 2019. Our family comes together once again in profound sadness and pain in our hearts to part with one of our beloved brothers. We also come together in joy to celebrate his life as he makes his journey Home. Those who remain behind and knew him well will find solace, peace and comfort by recalling to memory his thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity and unexpected quick wit.
José loved his family and friends unconditionally and with his whole heart. José frequently surprised his loved ones with a “little something just for you”.
Joe retired from the Las Vegas City Schools after more than 30 years of service. Joe graduated from West Las Vegas High School in 1972. Joe participated and excelled in track, basketball, baseball and football, both in junior high and high school. At one time during his football years at WLV, he held title as one of the state’s leading prep scorers. Joe remained an avid fan of all WLV sports and was most proud of all his nieces’ and nephews’ sports activities where they were always cheered on by their Uncle Joe. He became Uncle Joe to many young sports enthusiasts as he was a constant presence at their Little League games, middle and high school games in any sport they played and traveled to every game with them. Joe will now be there for them in spirit.
Joe was born on April 16, 1953, to Geronimo Garduño and Antonia García Garduño. Paternal grandparents were Pedro Garduño and Adela Lucero, maternal grandparents were Higinio García and Valeria Montaño, all of Chaperito, NM.
Joe was predeceased by his parents and grandparents, brothers Pete Garduño, Juan Bautista Garduño, Jerry Garduño, Gilbert Garduño and Leo Garduño, sisters, Isabel G. Chávez, Edwina Cristela Garduño and María Elena Montoya and sisters-in-law, Gertrude Domínguez Garduño and Beatriz Martínez Garduño.
