On June 8, 2026, we lost our beloved Sebastian Richie Joseph, known to many as “Babous.”

Sebastian was more than a little brother. He was a son, a friend, a cousin, and a bright light in the lives of so many people. His smile, kindness, and presence touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

For many years, Sebastian battled depression. Despite his strength and the love surrounding him, his struggles became too heavy to carry, and we tragically lost him yesterday.

As our family navigates this heartbreaking loss, we are asking for help with funeral and memorial expenses. We want to give Sebastian the farewell he deserves and celebrate the life he lived and the love he shared with all of us.

If you knew Babous, you are welcome to join us in honoring his life. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden on our family during this difficult time. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your love, support, and generosity. We love you all, and we know Sebastian would have felt that love too.

With gratitude,

The Michel/Joseph Family
