Jose Raul Molina, Jr., 56, of Hollywood, MD died Sunday, August 23, 2015 at MedStar Washington Hospital Center surrounded by his loving family. He was born on October 16, 1958 in El Paso, TX to Florentina Villa Molina of El Paso, TX and the late Jose Raul Molina, Sr.

On May 12, 1977 Jose proudly enlisted in the United States Air Force and dedicated four years of service until his honorable discharge on May 11, 1981.

On September 30, 1983, he married his beloved wife, Laura Isela Molina in El Paso, TX. Together they celebrated 31 wonderful years of marriage.

He was employed by PAE Applied Technologies LLC as an electronics technician.

He was a Renaissance man, in that he was good at everything he tackled. He enjoyed repairing things, cooking and could even sew. Whatever he put his mind to doing, he did well. He was a professional diaper changer, mathematician, trivia expert, and always the life of the party. He loved to ride motorcycles, be outdoors, and play sports. He enjoyed camping, especially in Canada and Yosemite Park. He was a history buff and enjoyed British comedy. He liked to dedicate time to volunteer and help Vacation for Vets, Veteran's Parade, and Christmas in April. However, his greatest love was for his family, in which he loved to spend his time with.

In addition to his mother and beloved wife, Jose is also survived by his children, Veronica I. Molina of Bullhead, AZ, Cesar R. Molina (Sandy) of Burlington, NJ, and Christina V. Molina of Orange, CA; his siblings, Lydia Goicochea of San Antonio, TX, Ignacio Molina of El Paso, TX, and Argelia Molina of El Paso, TX; and his grandchildren, Eugene Paul Tomasso, Lillian Rose Tomasso, Rocco Paul Tomasso, and Adrian Owen Molina. He is preceded in death by his father.
