He was known to many that loved him as "Zo". He was born on January 29, 1996 in San Angelo, to Anna Montemayor and Jose Alonzo Vallejo Sr. Zo was a 2014 graduate of San Angelo Central High School. Zo enjoyed the outdoors. He had a career in landscaping and fencing. With his most recent at TriTex Fence.

Zo struggled many years with drug addiction. Although he was a few months in recovery he eventually relapsed which ended up taking his life. Zo often felt like he didn't belong, letting his mind get the best of him. In reality he never knew a stranger and often made friends everywhere he went. He had a very sensitive and fragile heart, always trying to help anyone who was struggling to taking food to his friends when they were in need. It truly breaks our hearts that he could not ask for help when he was in need.

Zo loved playing basketball and spending time with family and friends especially his nephew Trippy who he loved dearly. Zo was a very outgoing person and loved to make people laugh and smile. He could light up any room he walked into with his smile. Zo was very smart and creative, always finding unique ways to do daily tasks. He loved using his hardworking skills to help everyone from painting, fencing, landscaping, to interior renovation. Zo was so deeply loved by many and will forever be missed.
