A funeral service will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at the Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Abbotsford. Family and friends are welcome to greet the family from 3 p.m. until the time of the services.

Josafat was born on November 11, 1972, in Guerrero, Mexico. He was united in marriage to Irene Andrade Ortiz. Josafat worked at Weather Shield in Medford.

Josafat was a very kind, caring and generous man. Despite a hard upbringing, his life changed when he turned to Christ, and he became the life of our home. He always brought light into our lives and was truly an excellent person. Josafat cared more about helping others than what he could receive in return. He never hesitated to go out of his way to lend a helping hand, and his selflessness touched everyone who knew him.

Josafat was a role model to many and a great example of a disciple of Christ. He leaves behind a huge void in many of our lives. The light he brought to us has joined us together and now lives in us.
