Yesterday we received a call very early in the morning that my brother, Brian (Josh) Michel, had left us. This was completely unexpected and we are no way prepared to deal with this.

Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers as we try to navigate the hardest time in our lives. We kindly ask that you please respect our privacy as well.

My brother Josh has one of the biggest hearts imaginable. He was a huge dog lover. He grew up with a love for skateboarding. Most recently, he was very passionate about art and tattooing and was eager to pursue a career as a tattoo artist. He was very smart and very talented. We will miss his bright shining green eyes and sweet smile. Also his insanely sarcastic and goofy personality, that’s just who he was.

If you are able to contribute anything to help ease the burden of the unexpected expenses my parents are facing, we would be grateful. 

Thank you for your support as we try to navigate this unimaginable loss. 

We love you, bub.
