Principalmente trabajó en la agricultura y como chef. Se casó con el amor de su vida, Consuelo Flores, el 10 de Mayo de 1995. Juntos amaron y criaron a dos hermosas hijas, Cristina y Julie.
Entre muchos pasatiempos, a José le encantaba tomar café, jugar boliche con su familia, la jardinería, cocinar, ayudar a los vecinos y jugar con sus nietos. Se sentía más en paz cuando pasaba tiempo en sus terrenos en México.

José fue precedido en la muerte por su padre, Albertano Ornelas; su madre, María Luz Rivera; su suegra, María Vargas; y su suegro, José Flores Zamora.

José estaba especialmente orgulloso de haber criado a sus hermanos menores, de cruzar la frontera para alcanzar el sueño americano, de haber vencido el cáncer y de haber sobrevivido a un severo ataque al corazón. Será recordado con cariño por su valentía y fortaleza al ser un paciente con insuficiencia cardíaca que superó las expectativas durante 19 años.
