Jose Felix LaRocque

Jose Felix LaRocque, 23, of Garden City, KS passed away on July 2, 2021 in Garden City from injuries sustained while working.

Felix was born in Guatemala on November 9, 1997. He and his sister Maria were cared for by their older brother Antonio, until they were placed in an orphanage in Guatemala City. David and Krista adopted the three children in August 2000, bringing them home to North Carolina. Felix graduated from homeschool in May 2016, and joined the rest of the family in moving to Kansas later that year. Felix married Yesenia Ochoa on July 20 2019.

Felix has always been an active, energetic young man, and enjoyed working with his hands outdoors with oil service companies and other excavation work. He enjoyed hiking, family time, eating out, and celebrating with friends and family. He cared deeply for other people, and dealt with tremendous burdens on behalf of others.
