Montarez Oct. 4 1945 - Feb. 17, 2006 Joe R. Montarez graduated from Tehachapi High School and joined the Army where he met and married Doris. Joe and Doris were married for 37 years and never spent a night away from each other. Joe loved music and played the guitar as well as any other available instrument. One of his first bands, during high school, was called The Counts. Joe continued performing in the Reno and Las Vegas areas throughout his life. His last performance was at the VFW in Tehachapi for the 2005 New Years celebrations. Joe had many friends and family. Anyone would be proud to be counted as Joe’s friend. We will all miss his humor, his music and his love. Joe is survived by his wife, Doris; sisters, Maria, Ling and their husbands; many nephews, nieces and cousins; and many friends.
