Our beloved, Jose Manuel Flores, 23, passed away on June 30, 2025. He was born on January 16, 2002 in Salt Lake City to Everardo Flores and Maria Simon.

Jose graduated from Kearns High School in 2020, then shortly after began his career as an HVAC technician. Jose was the youngest of 3 and grew up in a very loving and tight knit family. Jose had a genuine soul that made him easy to love. He instantly brightened up a room with his infectious smile and positive attitude. Jose made friends everywhere he went & deeply cared for those in his life. He had a great sense of humor and a laugh like no other. Jose had big goals that he wanted to accomplish in life. He was very ambitious and our parents were his biggest motivation.

He appreciated the little things in life and loved spending quality time. He enjoyed cooking new recipes for family on the weekends. He had a love for guns and going shooting was his favorite hobby. During his downtime he would connect online to play video games with his close friends. He enjoyed listening to rap music and loved night drives out in the city.

He had a huge heart and left us with so much love. His memory will be cherished for the rest of our days. Rest easy Wavy, we’ll miss your warm hugs and bright smile, we love you ♥
