He worked for West Texas Compress for fifty-three years before retiring. Joe enjoyed playing the lotto, listening to music,  dancing, mowing lawns and playing with his dogs. However, Joe’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his family and being a grandfather. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is preceded in death by his parents Vidal and Felipa Herrera; a daughter Irma Lee Herrera (2015) and a son Vidal Herrera (2017)

Those left to cherish his memory are his loving wife Mary Herrera of Lubbock; a son Joe Herrera Jr. and wife Cathy of Lubbock; two daughters Linda and husband Ruben Stone of Lubbock and Olga Aleman of Lubbock; brother Santos Garza of Seminole, Texas and a sister Fannie Herrera Aguirre of Kenedy, Texas; twenty-one grandchildren, forty-two great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.
