Jose Luis Granados Sanchez

Jose Luis Granados Sanchez, 59, of Gonzales, passed away Monday, September 15, 2025. He was born October 12, 1965 in Guanajuato, Mexico to Jose Isabel Sanchez Bustos and Maria Granados Calzada-Sanchez.

Jose made many wonderful friends in the years since becoming a US citizen. His hobbies, besides fishing, always included some kind of work with his life partner Janie Rodriguez Hastings for 39 years. Together they enjoyed riding to different little country towns exploring all the beautiful scenery. Most of all they treasured raising their children and grandchildren.

Jose and Janie never met a stranger. They loved and accepted everyone that came into their home. After 2 months of living without his soulmate, Jose went on to be with her in heaven, together again, forever!
