Jose Antonio Soto Salazar

Jose Antonio Soto Salazar, age 61, of Bluffton, South Carolina passed away peacefully on May 5, 2026 surrounded by loved ones.

Born on November 25, 1964 in Yahualica Jalisco, Mexico. Jose was a dedicated, workaholic, and intelligent man who always provided for his family. Which taught us the value of sense to care and accomplish everything in life. Even though he was a little crazy and hard headed at times, he always made sure to put a smile on our face. He was full of life and joy which made the people around him laugh and cherish the man that he was. With an outgoing personality and with his crystal blue eyes he made many friends and coworkers also feel like family. He will always be remembered as the one who helped anyone in need, without expecting anything in return.

Jose is survived by his wife, Maria L. Cardona. His two daughters, Irene Soto and Maria R. Perez. His three sons, Jose A. Soto Jr, Miguel A Cardona, and William Bautista. Fourteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He is also survived by one sister and five brothers, amongst many more family members.

He may be gone from our sight, never from our hearts, and will be deeply missed!
