Joe Alfredo Vega
Vega, Joe Alfredo, born to Herminio L. Vega and Beatriz Cruz, on September 11, 1976, has entered the Gates of Heaven as of September 17, 2021, at the age of 45.
Everyone who knew Joe knew that he was special in his own way. There were many things that he did not understand and is very well known for calling or texting anyone he could until he received the answers he sought. If he had a question that you couldn’t answer because you were driving, his response was “drive safely”.
Joe had a big heart and was always willing to help anyone in need. He loved to work on cars and build things. If he didn’t know how to fix it or build it, YouTube was his go-to for knowledge. In his spare time, he enjoyed wood working and everything technology.
Joe was preceded in death by his father Herminio L. Vega, sister Corina Gause, and nephew Isaac L. Vega. He is deeply loved and survived by his mother, Beatriz Cruz, siblings Ruben Vega (Cindy), Diana Herrera (Hector), Michael B.

To my brother, Joe… the day has come to lay your body to rest. Mentally and emotionally, I am not prepared. Spiritually, I know that you are safe and pain free in the arms of God. I can’t even begin to tell you how devastated I am and have been since the day He called you home, but I truly believe we will see each other again. Your promise to me was that you will be waiting for me next to God when my time comes and one thing I know, you have always been good at keeping your word. Although I am broken and lost, heaven gained an angel in you. I love you eternally… your favorite sister, Clara
To my brother Joe, it sucks the journey of life has come to an end to u so soon. I know we wasn’t as close as we should of been but like u said blood is thicker than water and whether we like it or not we Vega’s the times we was together where good times not bad ones at all till we meet again. Ride in paradise brother…
Praying for strength and comfort for the Vega family. Joe’s memories will live on through all of y’all, hang in there and know that it’s ok not to be ok!
Joe, I can’t believe you are gone. My husband and I are saddened by the news and still can’t believe it. You were a great neighbor always letting us know if anything was suspicious in our street. I will miss the text messages at 3 am telling us about a suspicious car or truck driving around. You were always looking out for the neighbors around you and willing to help anyone out. Palmway will never be or feel the same since you will no longer be here to look out for all of us. I will cherish the last text messages you sent me, you were telling me to take care of my husband and kids and to be careful. You will be truly missed.
Joe thank you for being there for our family in our hardest of time. Your dedication never went unnoticed. You filled a void in my family that no one else could. We will miss your presence and your crazy stories. I hope you know that we appreciated every moment with you.
