- José Simón "Joe" Marquez was born on his family's "old Spanish land grant" in Tomé, New Mexico (currently known as Tomé-Adelino, NM). Inspired by their love of skiing and motivated by their entrepreneurial spirits, Joe and Charlene Marquez relocated to the Gore Creek Valley in 1962. They raised their family in Minturn and West Vail. The Marquez children attended Vail Mountain School.

Joe Marquez served in the U.S. Army during the post World War II large-scale European reconstruction campaign. Simultaneously, he was part of the US Army's Third Armored Division exhibition baseball team. The baseball games were a local community goodwill gesture in the aftermath of war-torn Europe. Following his tour of duty, Marquez attended Los Angeles Harbor College and worked ten years for McDonnell Douglas Corporation in California. After relocating to Minturn, Colorado, Joe Marquez was one of the earliest Town of Vail (TOV) employees. His TOV Maintenance Department supervisor was the late local historian and Gilman miner Pete Burnett. He also worked for Ranger William Sears (Bill) Brown at the Minturn Ranger Station of White RIver National Forest. Marquez is known for his ingenuity, enterprise, and skill as a tradesman. He was the proprietor of service stations and several businesses in Vail and Minturn. In retirement, Joe Marquez has rediscovered his artistic talent; he enjoys painting and sculpture. He can also be found fishing the local streams and rivers of Eagle County or playing golf.
