The Polanco Family Fund in memory of Josh Polanco

Dear Family and Friends of Josh Polanco:

On June 27, 2021, we were all shocked by the terrible news of our beloved Josh Polanco's sudden passing. Josh was taken away from us in a tragic drowning accident. Josh was a loving son, brother, uncle, dog dad, and friend to many. Josh always had a smile on his face and could light up a room in an instant, no matter the circumstance. He would always make us laugh with his jokes and humor. Josh was the kind of person that lived life young, wild, and free-- always singing loudly and loving deeply. He was such a talented, creative and free spirit, and nature is where he found his peace. There aren’t many people like Josh in this world. We all LOVED him. He was a light to those around him. His smile, laughter, kindness, and free spirit will forever be missed.

Josh was the loving son of Jose and Delia Polanco. The love between Josh and his family was seen and felt by everyone who knew them and their lives have been forever changed. They will need our love and support in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Your support in helping the Polanco family lay their son to rest is much appreciated. Those of you who know them can attest to how much they’ve served others. Now, it's our turn to help and support them during this time. These funds will be used for Josh’s funeral expenses and to uphold his wishes of nourishing the soil that will help grow into a tree on family owned land in Puerto Rico. This is what he always wanted.

Nobody was prepared nor ready to endure such a tragedy, and our hearts are completely broken. Learning to live life without him will be immensely difficult for all of us. As we mourn the loss of this beautiful person from our lives, we ask that you help support his family and friends with love and keep them in your prayers. Let's join together to give what we can, so the Polancos can have the time to heal as a family without worrying about anything else.

My name is Kristian Garcia and Josh Polanco was a dear friend and a brother to me. He was the most kindhearted person I have ever met and his love reached us all. I am conducting this fundraiser on his family's behalf and with their permission.
