Born in:

Resided in:
Hayward, California
Jose Alejandro Sedano, 36, of Hayward, CA passed away on November 14, 2025. He was born on May 30, 1989 in Hayward, CA to Sarah and Alejandro Sedano.
Jose graduated from Tennyson High School and later attended Chabot college. He worked as a Security Supervisor/Officer for PG&E and as a supervisor in the emergency room at Eden Hospital. Jose also volunteered for multiple volunteer programs for the Hayward Police Department including the 2019 Community Academy. He received two different certificates of appreciation from the Hayward Police. His dream was to become a police officer and he took classes towards that goal.
Jose attended the Church of Christ South Hayward and was part of the youth ministry where he learned a solid biblical foundation. He was baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jose enjoyed GQ fashion and he always dressed to impress. He enjoyed trips to San Francisco, trips with friends to Mexico, time with family and friends, and going to the movies. He was a fitness buff and loved to stay healthy.
Jose loved spending time with his daughter Vivian. He was a devoted father always gentle, patient and fiercely committed to his family. The way he cared for his daughter was a blessing to witness. He loved to take her to places like the Carnival and would Facetime her two to three times per week.
Jose had such compassion for people but most importantly he trusted in Christ. He understood what scripture teaches us and that we must repent and turn our hearts to the Lord. He held on to the promise that those who believe in Christ will be resurrected in glory. Jose made us feel safe and at peace. He loved to make people laugh and had a contagious smile.
Jose is survived by his daughter, Vivian Sedano; mother, Sarah Sedano; father, Alejandro Sedano; sister, Alejandra Sedano; brother, Gabriel Sedano; niece, Sophia; nephews, Ares, Joshua and the entire Sedano Family.
He was a hard worker, not for recognition, but because he believed in building a strong, loving foundation for his family. Everything he did was rooted in love. He was motivated by family, driven by loyalty and guided by a heart that was truly selfless. His loss is a pain that sits deep within all of us, but his presence remains in every memory, every lesson, every moment he touched. He taught us what it means to give without hesitation, to love without conditions and to live with sincerity. Jose’s heart, redeemed and made pure by the blood of Christ, overflowed with love and though his time on earth was cut short, the beauty of his redeemed soul will echo on in eternity.

My beautiful angel, my protective brother Jose—you were the most precious soul this world was blessed to know. You showed me with grace, loved with your whole heart, and showed me what it means to stand firm in truth while never losing compassion.
I miss you every single day. I miss your voice, your strength, the way you never left my side when I was broken. You were healthy, you were full of life and plans, and losing you so suddenly still feels impossible to understand.
But I know you’re with the Father now, free from pain, wrapped in the love you always deserved.
Your name, Jose Sedano, will always be spoken with love. Your daughter will know how incredible you were. And I will keep living in a way that honors you…staying truthful, staying loving, just like you taught me.
Until we meet again, my beautiful boy. You are forever my angel.
With all my love your sister who loves her chato!!! I will see you again my beloved.
Dearest José,
Though I never met you in person, I feel like I’ve known you, through your sister Alejandra, and ever since I received the notice of your death on this side of the veil, I have prayed for you and have loved you like my brother.
Thank you for being the brother that Alejandra always needed, and now you can be there for her and many in a very powerful way through the leverage of your prayers on the other side of eternity.
It was my greatest honor to play my harp for you and your family and I pray that I can be half the brother you are for those who loved you.
Be assured of my continual prayers for the eternal repose of your soul and be assured of my support of your little sister, through my prayers.
Eternal Rest grant unto Jose Sedano oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
Rest in Eternal peace, precious soul!
I wish we can have one more conversation so i can let you know that we all love you and are waiting to see you again.
As I mourn with your family ,I know you are in a good place.
As time heals, and your memory always remain vivid in our church, your void is filled with the presence of Jesus our Lord and his glory will shine on the brokenhearts you left behind
Talk to Jesus, have fun, you have a special mansion up there. Lucky guy!
What an honor it was to be your pastor! We grieve with people with hope and we support your family through our loss and to know that you’re standing with our Heavenly Father.
To watch you as a teenager grow and mature into the great young man that you were was a blessing. You loved your daughter, family, and those you came in contact with. I appreciate your example and how your love wasn’t talk but moved to action. You were concerned and always appreciated our talks of how you wanted a stronger relationship with Jesus and love your family well. To know you sacrificed for others was a key example of that.
Your long drives to LA, FaceTime with your daughter, and being a guide to your niece and nephew and other relatives was truly love in action. I know you’re enjoying your reward new heavenly body and seeing those that have gone before us.Thank you for modeling, loving God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself We will treasure this the rest of our lives. Pastor Tim & Sister Sharon
I light a candle in your honor. You inspired and motivated SOOOO many by your bright light. As it is written:
“He taught us what it means to give without hesitation, to love without conditions and to live with sincerity.”
Thus, a model for each of us to follow, and thereby create a better world 🌎.
Your death is not an end, but an everlasting mentorship.
* Death is that state in which one exists only in the MEMORY of others, which is why it is NOT an end. NO goodbyes. Just GOOD memories. *
We WILL meet again in glory at the Throne of God Almighty 🙏 🙌 ✨️..!!
Chato, I never got the chance to tell you how truly successful you were. You accomplished the one thing so many strive for but fail to achieve: you were a deeply loving father. To me, that is the greatest success a man can ever reach, and you absolutely nailed it.
Happy birthday in heaven, Chato. I will see you soon. We will ALL see you soon. Until then, continue to guide me and give me strength, and keep being the beautiful guardian angel watching over Vivian.
Salud, Chato. I love you always.
I love you my precious son Jose Alejandro Sedano from your mother Sarah
Happy Birthday in heaven my precious

“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.” Psalm 68:5
Jose, you were more than my brother… you were a father figure to me my entire life. You showed me what love looks like through your actions! The DoorDash surprises, the Crumbl cookies, the family movie nights, the way you poured your heart into Vivian even when things were hard.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13
You gave everything for our family. You loved with your whole heart, and that love didn’t end… it lives on in every memory, every laugh, every moment we carry forward.
“The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.” — Proverbs 20:7
Vivian will know her father through the love you left behind. Your legacy is written in how you showed up, how you cared, how you fought to your last breath. We honor you today and always.
Rest in God’s arms, big brother. Your reward is great. 🕊️
