Joe Medina, a beloved rancher, father, and friend, peacefully passed away on January 31, 2025, at the age of 93. Born on August 31, 1931, in Costilla County, Colorado, Joe dedicated his life to the land he adored and the family he cherished.

A proud member of the First Presbyterian Church in Alamosa, Joe was known for his profound love for Jesus and his unwavering faith. He lived his life with a heart full of kindness, teaching those around him the values of hard work, patience, and compassion.

He was a proud grandfather to David Joe, Tiffany, Tough, and Timber, who each carry a piece of his spirit.
