Joseph William Aponte

Joseph William Aponte

 February 8, 1970 - July 19, 2022
Born in Fontana, California to Joseph W. Aponte, Sr, and Christina E.
Gonzales. Joseph was the youngest of 5 siblings. He was born and raised in
Southern California but fell in love with the Bay area where he would live a
good portion of his life. He would live his later years in San Antonio, Texas.
He was predeceased in life by both his parents, Paternal and Maternal
grandparents along with his two older brothers, Jamie Aponte, and David
Soto. 

 He is survived by his sister's, Natalie Aponte of Colton California and Patricia
Aponte of San Antonio, Texas. He leaves behind 13 Nephews and Nieces and
17 great nephews and nieces, Uncles and Aunts with dozens of cousins.
On July 19, 2022, at the age of 52, our brother and uncle went home to
heaven. 

 He was a great uncle to his many nieces and nephews. He was also so much
like his parents; crazy, fun, funny, cool, happy, serious. But most of all, Joe
was always so helpful and willing to give you his last, no matter where it left
him in life. 

 While Joe was younger, he accomplished so much: Future Leaders of
America, ASB President (Colton High, SBVC, ASU), Bachelor's Degree (ASU),
and traveled the world. He wrote multiple grants that would help with non-
profits and help building/classrooms be built at SBVC, those buildings stand
today to help the future of tomorrow. 

 When he was just 16 years of age or so, Joe was diagnosed with Type 1
diabetes. About 11 years ago the prolonged use of diabetic medicine caused
him to need dialysis, and his health declined. Joe would have several heart
attacks, strokes, and other emergency visits. He continued to make others
smile and celebrate life through it all. 

 He took extraordinary pride in his family and friends.
We will miss him so much. 

 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.

Antonio “Tony” Garcia III entered into rest on August 25, 2021. He was known to most as husband, father, son, brother, friend, co-worker or colleague, but to those who were closest to him, he was remembered for his big, kind and generous heart. 


 He loved to make people laugh and always had jokes. Needless to say, whatever he loved, he set his mind to do. That included the love for the Funeral Industry.  Tony had been in the funeral industry since a very young age and grew to love the business, but his greatest accomplishment was finally fulfilled when he was blessed by becoming co-owner of Metro Mortuary Services in San Antonio.  He used his life and his business to touch the lives of many and bless people in special ways. Truly a great man of the community, who would not do anything for someone in need. 


A celebration of his life and the memories we all shared, will take place Friday February 18, 2022 from 6 – 8 PM at Cabrera Funeral Home. Speakers will begin around 7 PM
