Passed away on June 21, 2025
In Memory of Joel L. Torres Sr.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Joel L. Torres Sr., age 65, who departed this world on June 21, 2025. A devoted husband to Rosalva, and a loving father to Elizabeth and Joel Jr., Joel’s greatest pride was his family.
He leaves behind his many brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Ramon and Socorro, with whom he is now reunited.
A retired machinist, Joel found joy in fixing things—restoring not just broken parts, but bringing function and care to all he touched.
