Jose era un apasionado fanático de los deportes, animando a los Texans y al Houston Dynamo con un entusiasmo inquebrantable. Disfrutaba de la emoción de la pesca y la serenidad de estar en un barco.

La familia era la piedra angular de la vida de Jose. Amaba pasar tiempo con sus hijos, Andrew Joseph Zavala y Carmen Adriana Zavala, y su madre, Maria del Carmen Zavala. Sus hermanas, Ana Mirna Alviar, Marlene del Carmen Zavala y Blanca Yanira Alviar, junto con sus sobrinos y sobrinas y una gran familia extendida y amigos, que siempre atesorarán su memoria.
Las habilidades culinarias de Jose eran legendarias. Le encantaba hacer su famoso brisket, cocinar y especialmente disfrutar de la comida salvadoreña, siendo las pupusas una de sus favoritas. Encontraba paz en el aire libre, a menudo disfrutando de su café en el patio, y sus viajes lo llevaron a muchas playas, donde se sentía más en casa.
Precedido en la muerte por su padre, Jose Arturo Zavala, su tia Maria Hilda Zavala, y su primo Walter Gerardo Zavala, Jose deja un legado de amor, risas y recuerdos preciados. Su presencia será profundamente extrañada por todos los que lo conocieron.
