On Saturday, November 3, 2018, Joseph Epifinio Cermeno III (J.C. III), loving father, son, and brother, passed away at the age of 49. Joseph was the first-born son to Adelpha Valdez and Joe Cemeno, Jr. He came into this world on April 28, 1969, in Galveston, Texas. He was raised in Texas City and graduated from Hitchcock High School in 1987. Joseph was self-employed as an electrician for 29 years. His passions were working on his 1995 Camaro Z28, BBQing with his brothers, and speeding time with his family, friends and his "man's best friend", Scotty, who he loved dearly. Joseph was "jack of all trades" and often combined his two favorite hobbies, carpentry and electrical work, to create extraordinary projects. Our dear Joseph will always be known for his quick wit, infectious smile, and kind and compassionate spirit. We will miss him forever.
