He was born in Mexico on June 2, 1972 the son of Guadalupe Acosta Shanklin. Jose was a 1989 graduate of Waukesha South High School. For the past few years he was employed at the Smoke Pit in North Prairie. Jose was a kid at heart who enjoyed making people laugh with his great sense of humor. He was a huge movie buff and enjoyed reading and comics. Most of all he loved being with his family and he will always be remembered for his kind nature and zest for life.
He will be forever missed by his loving mother Guadalupe Acosta Shanklin, his “favorite sister” Jessica Cheema (just kidding), his real favorite sister Marjorie (Michael) DeSandre and his cherished nephews, Ethan and Noah. He is further survived by his aunts and uncles, Aurelia Acosta, Pepita (Epifanio) Lazcano and Roberto (Josefina) Acosta along with many cousins, other relatives and dear friends.
