Joel Alfredo Torres, 32, passed away unexpectedly the morning of Sept. 16, 2024.
Joel was born July 6, 1992 in Billings, Montana, to Joel and Mabel Torres.
Joel married Clarinda Nicholson on Sept. 7, 2014. They were married 10 amazing years, with a love that was admired by all. Joel and Clari have two beautiful daughters, Jazlyn Farman and Jemimah Torres. Joel loved his family. He devoted his time to raising his girls and doting on his lovely wife. Joel worked very hard so that his wife could stay home and raise their children.
Everywhere Joel went, his love for Christ preceded him. So much so, that his love for people showed in every smile. Joel was ALWAYS smiling. He never met a stranger. Everyone was “someone” to him. He never met anyone he felt did not deserve his kindness, time and love.
Joel was a chef and had a true love for the culinary arts. He held many jobs that gave him the opportunity to share the love he had for Christ with everyone he came into contact with.
Joel also had a passion for music. He loved to play guitar. He and his wife and daughters would often play music together.
Remaining to cherish Joel’s memory are his wife, Clari; children, Jazlyn and Jemimah; mother, Mabel Torres; brothers, Jared Torres and Jonas Torres; sister-in-law, Crystal Gordon; and in-law relatives, Gerald and Hulene Nicholson, Scott and Sandy Nicholson, Greg and Teri Nicholson, Tony and LeAnna Nicholson, and Troy and Tina Nicholson; and 25 nieces and nephews.
Preceding Joel in death was his father, Joel Torres.
Joel’s final resting place will be in Burlington, Wyoming. Memorial donations in Joel’s memory may be deposited directly into the family's bank account located at Sunlight Federal Credit Union.
