Jose Alcala Meza

José Alcala Meza passed from this world on May 12 th , 2022, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 66. José was born in Michoacán de Ocampo, Mexico and moved to San Antonio as a teenager. José was a supervisor and (master) Master Mechanic at Nordam for 33 years. As a supervisor, José chose to work hands-on with his colleagues and treated them as equals- except for the computer and its paperwork, which he lovingly referred to as “la chingada pinche puta.” José loved to dance, smoke meats, take care of his yard, fix things, do his unique whistle, and watch the Discovery and History channels. Above all, his biggest passion was his motorcycle. He was looking forward to seeing Avatar 2022 at its release and had plans to attend with his wife. He took great pride in his family. He was not affiliated with any bike clubs or organizations, but he supported every fundraiser, event, ride, or poker run that came up. He would give you the shirt off of his back or the last dollar he had. José was one of the most wonderful men the world has ever had the privilege of knowing. To know him was to love him. José is survived by his wife, Cynthia Meza of Tulsa, Oklahoma, his children, daughter Yvonne of San Antonio, Texas, son José Meza of Tulsa, Oklahoma, daughter Faith Watt of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and grandson Gabriel of San Antonio, Texas. José has also helped raise Sylvesteria and Cinthia, children of his former wife, Little Jose’s biological mother, Martha. Jose is also survived by his parents, father Juan R Meza, mother Guadalupe A Meza, brothers Vicente A Meza and Alfredo A Meza, and sisters Josefina Meza Cortez, Guadalupez Meza Placencia, Julia Meza Vasquez, Cecilia Meza Martinez Mina Meza Turner, and Maria Meza Delgado, and a multitude of nephews and nieces. José was preceded in death by his brother Juan, his best friend, confidant, and partner in mischief, as well as his grandmother and grandfather There will be a viewing for José on Thursday, May 19 th, at Sien Shelton Funeral Home in Skiatook beginning at 9 am, with services to follow at 1 pm.

José nació en Michoacán de Ocampo, México y se mudó a San Antonio en su adolescencia. José era supervisor y Mecánico Maestro en Nordam por 33 años. Como supervisor, José decidió trabajar junto con sus colegas y los trataba como iguales - excepto con la computadora y sus papeleos, a los que, con mucho cariño, se refería como "la chingada pinche puta." José amaba bailar, ahumar carnes, cuidar de su patio, arreglar cosas, hacer su único silbido y mirar los canales de Discovery y de Historia. Sobretodo, su pasión más grande era su motocicleta. Estaba esperando ver la película Avatar 2022 en su fecha de lanzamiento y tenía planes de asistir con su esposa. Sentía un gran orgullo por su familia. No estaba afiliado a ningún club u organización de motocicletas, pero aún así apoyaba todas las recaudaciones de fondos, eventos, corridas o carreras de póquer que surgieran. Él se quitaba la camisa de su espalda para dártela o te daba el último dólar que tenía. José era uno de los hombres más maravillosos que este mundo ha tenido el privilegio de conocer. Conocerlo era quererlo. A José le sobreviven su esposa, Cynthia Meza de Tulsa, Oklahoma, sus hijos, Yvonne de San Antonio, Texas, José Meza de Tulsa, Oklahoma, Faith Watt de Tulsa, Oklahoma y su nieto, Gabriel de San Antonio, Texas. José también ayudó a criar a Sylvesteria y Cinthia, hijas de su anterior esposa, la madre biológica del Pequeño José, Martha. A José también le sobreviven sus padres, Juan R. Meza y Guadalupe A. Meza, sus hermanos Vicente A. Meza y Alfredo A. Meza y sus hermanas, Josefina Meza Cortez, Guadalupe Meza Placencia, Julia Meza Vasquez, Cecilia Meza Martinez, Mina Meza Turner y María Meza Delgado, y una multitud de sobrinos y sobrinas. José fue precedido en la muerte por su hermano Juan, su mejor amigo, confidente y compañero de travesuras, al igual que sus abuelos. El velatorio para José será el jueves, 19 de mayo, en la Funeraria Sien Shelton en Skiatook comenzando a las 9 de la mañana, seguido por los servicios fúnebres a la 1 de la tarde.
