On February 7, 2024, we lost our dear friend and colleague, Joseph Aponte. Joe was tragically killed in a car accident, while doing the work that he loved. His legacy as a dedicated public servant, a family man, and an integral part of our Public Works team will live on in all of us. His absence is deeply felt by those who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. Today, we reflect on the lasting impact Joe made, not only through his work but through the community that he shared with those around him. Though he’s no longer with us, Joe’s hard work, and the camaraderie he shared with his colleagues will always be remembered and honored by all at the City of Sugar Land.
