In Loving Memory

Joseph Summers
June 19, 1953 — July 16, 2026
Joseph Joel Summers, cherished son, brother, and grandfather, peacefully entered into eternal rest on July 16, 2026, at the age of 73. Born on June 19, 1953, in the vibrant city of San Antonio, Texas, Joseph's life was a testament to love, resilience, and the joy of family.
Joseph was the beloved son of Mark Anthony Gonzales and Annette Summers Gonzales, and a devoted brother to Andrea Nicole Gonzales and Bianca Machelle Gonzales. His family was his world, and he held a deep and abiding love for each of them. Joseph's heart was also filled with pride and affection for his grandchildren, Cheyanne Martinez and Savannah Martinez. His gentle spirit and infectious laughter will be dearly missed by his grandmother, Stella Ramos, and his aunts, Josephine Vasquez Serrata and Jeannette Marie Vasquez, along with his uncles, Robert Serrata and Albert Saucedo.
Family gatherings were moments Joseph cherished, surrounded by his cousins Luke Serrata, Santiago Serrata, Emmanuel Oliveras, Emmarie Oliveras, Emmelia Oliveras, Emmett Oliveras, Seth Saucedo, Sean Saucedo, and Scott Saucedo. His home was filled with the joyful sounds of his loyal canine companions, Nova, Milo, and Cosmo, who brought him endless happiness.
Joseph's passions included listening to music that resonated with his soul and meticulously tending to his car, a hobby that brought him great satisfaction. He was a man who fought hard until the very end, facing life's challenges with unwavering courage and grace.
The family invites friends and loved ones to join them in honoring Joseph’s life on Monday, July 20, 2026. Visitation will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. with a prayer service at 6:30 p.m. to celebrate his remarkable life. All services will conclude at 8 p.m.
In memory of Joseph's generous spirit, the family kindly suggests that donations be made to a charity of your choice. Joseph’s legacy of love and dedication will forever remain in the hearts of those who were privileged to know him.
