Jose Torres Colon

Jose was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, on Nov. 3, 1994, to Samuel Torres and Odalis Colon. He graduated from Ponce High School and then from National University College, where he studied the culinary arts. In 2021, Jose moved to Iron Mountain and took a position in the paint department with Home Depot. Jose was a dedicated and recognized employee and was loved by the entire staff.

Jose was a great big lovable teddy bear until his competitive side was unleashed. When challenged to a game of chess or one of his favorite video games, he was relentless. He was a loyal fan of the Detroit Lions and his favorite WWE wrestler, John Cena. Jose was always fun to be around and he particularly enjoyed spending time with family, sharing his delicious food and watching anime. He will be lovingly remembered for his kindness and his funny little dances.

Jose will be deeply missed by his parents; two brothers, Samuel Torres Colon (Nayeli Valentin Padilla) and Fabian Torres Colon; nephew Zair Abdiel Melendez Valentin; niece Mykaela Sophia Torres Valentin; uncle Jose Antonio Colon Alvarez; and many other relatives and friends.

Visitation will be from 3 to 7 p.m. on Monday, March 2, at the Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home, 901 Carpenter Ave., followed by a funeral service at 7 p.m.

Jose’s family would like to thank all of his co-workers and friends that made his time in Iron Mountain special, as well as the staff of Bellin Memorial Hospital in Green Bay for their care and compassion.
