The world has lost one of its brightest lights. Joe passed unexpectedly while sleeping Sunday night.

I met him when I first moved to San Diego and we instantly connected over music - his smile and laughter was infectious. Joe’s adventurous, kind, and silly spirit impacted loved ones all over the country, from his birthplace of Pennsylvania all the way to the west coast where he spent lots of time.

This is an unimaginable and unexpected loss for his beautiful fiancée Jussi and his loving family. To help ease the pain, please help me pay for funeral expenses for Joe. We are all better for knowing him and his presence on this earth will be a daily reminder to live each day to the fullest and filled with love, just like he did.

”fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell”
