The Tyson employee who died Monday was diagnosed with coronavirus in April, according to a friend and a family member.

His loved ones said Ayala had three siblings and a large extended family. "Jose is a good man," Medhaug wrote in a Facebook post."He is an amazing friend. He could always make everyone in the room smile.
