Age 78, passed away Wednesday November 14, 2018 surrounded by his loving family. Jose was preceded in death by his parents, Rosendo and Herculana Rosas. Survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Maria Rosas (nee Hinojosa); five children, Adriana Rosas, Rosendo (Johanna) Rosas, Amada Rosas, Patricia M. (Anton) Shrout, and Jose C. Rosas; and four grandchildren, Xochitl Robertson, Adrian D. Rosas-Ellis, Summer Robertson, and Desmond Antonio Shrout. Jose was born in Fresnillos, Zacatecas, Mexico on November 28, 1939. A former employee at Lewis University, Jose was a protective, caring family man that loved his family. His favorite food was menudo and would be happy to eat it every day if he could. Jose’s favorite team was the Chicago White Sox and always wore his Sox baseball hat to show that. Our father loved the outdoors, to plant trees, vegetables, and flowers. If you didn't find him inside, you found him outside, taking care of his yard and garden. He had a green thumb. What ever seed he threw in the ground, it grew! He loved to watch black and white movies from his time and current ones of different genre, like action, martial arts, nature, romantic ones and comedies, especially those of Cantinflas! He saw the sense of humor in everything and was very witty with his comebacks. There are many things that he enjoyed in life, but family was always the most important to him. He will be truly missed by his beloved family and friends.
