Jose Elder Guardado Espinoza

Jose Elder Guardado Espinoza, 30, of Charlotte, is now with his Heavenly father and family. Elder was born in Esparta, Atlantida, Honduras, on January 18, 1978. He came to Charlotte, NC, and through a mutual friend, met his wife Denise. They bought a home and in 1999, were blessed with a son. Elder was skilled in construction trades and working with his hands. He used these talents to work as a subcontractor doing drywall and metal framing for many building projects around Charlotte. He was a very dedicated and hard worker who provided for his family, giving him both reward and purpose. When he was not working, Elder enjoyed shooting pool, listening to music and spending time with his family and friends. On May 10, 2003, he left his home and was never to return. On December 24, 2008, human remains were found near the airport in Charlotte. Though it was determined that the person had been the victim of homicide, the identification of the victim was still unknown. After holding out hope for so many years, in 2022, through DNA testing, Elder’s remains were positively identified and now those he loved and left behind begin the process of knowing he is home, both here and with God. In addition to his wife, Denise, he is survived by his son, Jose Elder Espinoza Jr of Antioch, TN; and numerous other family and friends. Elder’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for him and for them. A gathering of friends and family will take place at 4 pm on Saturday, February 18, at the funeral home, 4715 Margaret Wallace Road, Matthews, NC 28105. At 4:30, all present will gather in the chapel for a memorial service in his honor. All services will conclude at the funeral home. Michael John Neddo of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
