Joe Navarrette
Obituary
Joe Navarrette, born in Abilene, Texas on January 21, 1945, passed away on January 7, 2024. He was 78.
He moved in 1947 to North Platte, Nebraska, where he spent his childhood under certain circumstances. He moved to Watsonville, CA in 1964, where he met his soulmate, Beatrice Navarrette.
Joe was well-known as a devoted parts man at Townsend's Auto Parts for 20 plus years. He enjoyed coaching American Little League baseball, Junior Wildcatz football, and Senior League. He not only enjoyed coaching, but he loved watching the Raiders, A's, and the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
His presence was comforting, and even though he may no longer be with us, he continues to shine a light on his loved ones' lives. Joe will be dearly missed by all his friends, family, and all who knew him. May this man of God rest in peace.
Joe is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Beatrice Navarrette, his son, Aaron Jerome Navarrete and daughter-in-law Lillian, and his siblings; Gilbert, Alex, and Frank Tinajera. He also leaves behind six beloved grandchildren, Aaron Jerome, Jr., Desirey. Joseph Thomas, Abraham Desmond, Elijah Noel, and Karissa Monique Navarrette, and one great-grandchild to be. Avayah Zamora-Navarrette.
Viewing will be held at Mehl's Colonial Chapel on Saturday, January 13, 2024 from 5:00PM to 9:00PM, with rosary to begin at 7:00PM.
