Jose Morales Obituary
September 8, 1970 – October 2, 2023
JONESBOROUGH - Jose "Joe" Cordova Morales (53), loving father, of Jonesborough, TN, passed away unexpectedly on October 2, 2023, in Maryville, TN. Joe was born September 8, 1970 in Guanajuato, Mexico. Joe's resilient spirit and love left a lasting mark on all who knew him.
Joe had a passion for life and a work ethic that was evident in his many pursuits. An avid landscaper, he spent countless hours nurturing the earth, where he created beauty and serenity. As a fervent farmer, his homestead continually echoed with joyous moos from his beloved cows.
Often described as "the best guy around", he was passionate, loving, and a beacon of unwavering support and affection for his family and community. Moreover, Joe's devotion to his kin was unyielding.
He is survived by his companion (Leslie Burchfield), children (Isabella Burchfield and Amir Morales), brothers (Rogelio, Hugo, Alejandro, and Ruben), sisters (Estela and Rosario), long term friends (Frank Sell and family and Nancy Murphy and family). He was preceded in death by his parents (J Rosario Cruz Cordova and Ma Lucila Sánchez Morales) and brother (Mario Cordova Morales).
You could always find him singing, dancing and making everyone smile and laugh. Joe inspired each of us in his own way.

Joe was one of the best friends I ever had. He was endlessly kind, talented, loving, and very generous with his customers. He & his crew were always so faithful to take care of my lawn and mowing. They very faithfully served me for years. As well, he was very reasonable in his prices and generous in his giving to all. No one will ever take Joe's place in my heart and mind. I was shocked by his untimely death and he will be missed dearly by all of us. See you in Heaven Joe.
