On October 18, 2026, our family experienced an unimaginable loss with the sudden passing of our beloved Joseph "Joe" Landazabal. At just 53 years old, Joe was taken from us far too soon, leaving behind his loving wife, Joelle, and their three sons, Justin, CJ, and Eli. Joe was so much more than a husband and father. He was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose kindness, generosity, warmth, and laughter touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. He was the heart of his family, a source of strength and comfort, and someone who made the lives of those around him brighter simply by being there. Joe's sudden illness came without warning. Despite his strength, medical care, and the hopes of everyone who loved him, we had to say goodbye far too soon. There are no words that can truly capture the heartbreak Joelle and the boys are experiencing. In the midst of their grief, they are also facing the overwhelming reality of navigating life without their husband and father. We cannot take away their pain, but we can help carry some of the weight. We have created this GoFundMe to surround the Landazabal family with love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Contributions will help ease the financial responsibilities of unexpected expenses, memorial arrangements, everyday living costs, and the many uncertainties that come with such a sudden loss. Our hope is to give Joelle and the boys the time and space they need to grieve, remember Joe, and begin finding their way forward without the adding financial worries. No contribution is too small, and if you are unable to give, sharing this page, keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers, or simply sending your love means just as much. Joe spent his life giving love, strength, and laughter to those around him. Now, it's our turn to surround the people he loved most with that same kindness and generosity. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for loving Joe and for continuing to love the Landazabals.
