Joe Kenneth "Kenny" Losoya

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Joe Kenneth "Kenny" Losoya, who departed this world on June 9, 2024, at the age of 56. Kenny was born on May 5, 1968 in Alpine, Texas to Joe and Tina Losoya. 

Kenny attended Catholic school during his primary education in Alpine and continued his intermediate education in Presidio, TX. He completed his four years at Alpine High School, receiving his diploma. During his senior year in 1986, Kenny enlisted in the Army National Guard, where he reported to monthly drills and was assigned to Basic Training camp upon graduation. Two days before his 18th birthday and three weeks shy of graduation, he was involved in a vehicle accident and suffered a traumatic head injury. With a heart of courage and a disposition to fight, Kenny overcame many physical challenges to survive. 

Kenny was the bright light of the family, bringing joy, tears of laughter, and most of all, being the center of unconditional love. He touched lives with his radiant character and left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew him.
