The Shocking Jose Rebollar Obituary
The news of Jose Rebollar’s passing has struck the Maple Shade and Cherry Hill areas with a “hot and shocking” intensity. At just 33 years old, Jose was in the prime of his life, a man who had recently re-enrolled in college with the inspiring goal of finishing his degree and eventually attending law school. To lose someone with such a “bright heart” and a drive for the future is a “heartbreaking” reality for his community. Jose was a man who “showed up for everyone,” known for going out of his way to help neighbors and colleagues alike, leaving behind a legacy of selflessness that defined his character.
The “eye-catching” outpouring of support from his co-workers and friends highlights the “indescribable void” his departure has created. Whether he was assisting remote colleagues with passion and concern or sharing a laugh with those in his neighborhood, Jose moved with a “quiet and powerful” kindness. As family and friends gather today, February 1, 2026, at the Mark C. Tilghman Funeral Home, the focus remains on the “profound sadness” of a life taken far too soon, yet one that was lived with immense meaning and love.
A Legacy of Love, Family, and “Pozole”
Jose Rebollar’s 33 years were a masterclass in devotion and joy. Those who had the “privilege of knowing him” describe a man who was, above all else, a dedicated father. A proud “girl dad,” Jose loved his daughters, Leticia and Ariana, deeply and endlessly; they were his world, and his love for them was evident in everything he did. A talented cook, Jose was especially famous for his pozole, a dish that brought his family together and created a sense of “meaning and warmth” in their home.
The “outpouring of grief” following his passing is a direct reflection of the love he shared with his wife, Diana, whom he met online in 2011 and built a beautiful life with. Their bond was filled with laughter and shared adventures, from the rugged beauty of the Grand Canyon to cherished trips back to Los Angeles to visit family. Jose was a man of “unwavering spirit”—a loyal son, brother, and friend who taught those around him that the most important thing we leave behind is the kindness we show and the memories we build. His journey into the cosmos is now surrounded by the very love he spent his life cultivating.
Honoring Jose’s Legacy and Supporting His Daughters
As the Maple Shade community gathers today to navigate this “heartbreaking loss,” the focus remains on honoring Jose’s remarkable journey and supporting his wife and young daughters during this time of “profound sadness.” The loss of such a vibrant and caring young father is a heavy blow to the collective spirit of his friends and family. As final honors are rendered this afternoon, loved ones are encouraged to remember the man behind the smile—the aspiring lawyer, the master cook, and the hero to his children whose light was extinguished much too early.
We extend our deepest condolences to Diana, Leticia, Ariana, and the entire Rebollar, Barban, and Parias families. Jose’s story did not end on January 26; it continues through every act of kindness performed in his name and every milestone his daughters will achieve with his spirit watching over them. Rest in peace, Jose; your presence was a blessing to Maple Shade, and your memory will remain a guiding light for your family forever.
