In Loving Memory of Joseph Bruce Almanzar

How do you fit all your loved ones and memories into one post? It’s impossible.

…It’s also impossible to forget all the times and ways you’ve showed up for the girls, family, for friends and those you loved; without question. It’s impossible to forget your contagious smile, your goofy but brazen demeanour, those funny sounds you’d make after a remark and nudging someone with your elbow… “ehhhh! ehhhhhh!!!!” (If you know, you know lol). It’s impossible to forget you.

Joseph Bruce Almanzar

Feb. 16, 1979 - Oct. 21, 2021

You leave behind 4 beautiful, amazing and strong-willed women: Auntie Marissa, Kaila, Leilani, and Mercedes.

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

You made everyone feel an overwhelming sense of love and care; always having everyone’s back and being loyal to the bone. You were that person, for many people.

You were also someone by Auntie Mo’s side through thick and thin, with love unconditional. You were the girls’ real-life superhero - strong, courageous, protecting, and doing whatever it took for them.

We thank you for memories we’ll never forget.

This fundraiser will help Marissa and the girl’s cover costs for the celebration of life and for any other expenses the family may need to cover during this time.

Please consider making a donation - anything will make a difference and/or please share this fundraiser to help spread the word.

The family sends their gratitude for everyone's support and kindness in these times of mourning and hardship.

On behalf of and with love from,

Marissa, Kaila, Leilani, and Mercedes
