Jose Llamas, a 34-year-old King City resident, is remembered for the ordinary ties that bind — family, friendships, and the life he built in his community.
Remembering Jose
A life held close in memory
Jose Llamas was a son of King City whose life was rooted in the small, tightly knit community where he lived. Public records show he was 34 years old at the time of his death on June 25, 2013. While formal obituary notices matching his name and exact date of death were not found in accessible funeral-home or obituary databases, local reporting and public memorial records confirm his identity and the date he passed.
People who live in towns like King City often measure life by relationships — neighbors who know one another’s routines, relatives who gather for holidays, and friends who are present for milestones. Though detailed personal records about Jose’s work, hobbies, or immediate family are not available in the public sources located for this research, his presence on local memorial listings and in county reporting reflects that he was part of that web of daily life in Monterey County. One local account that notes the events of June 25, 2013, places Jose among community members affected that day, and memorial registries that record victims of gun violence list his name with that date.
Because authoritative obituary or family-published memorials matching the exact database death date were not located, this remembrance focuses on honoring Jose as an individual whose life mattered to people in his town. He was not defined by how he died. Even when public records are sparse, the fact that friends, neighbors, or family members took steps to remember him in local reporting and memorials shows he was known and that his loss was felt. For those who knew him personally, memories of his everyday presence — the roles he filled, whether as family member, coworker, or neighbor — are the most fitting tributes.
Jose’s life, like many lives in small communities, is remembered most truly in the private stories of those who loved him. This brief remembrance acknowledges his place in King City and the human worth that every person carries, inviting any who knew him to preserve and share their memories of him in family-held remembrances.
