In a world where time moves relentlessly forward, this platform provides a space where we can pause, reflect, and remember the moments that we shared with Joshua.

Please join me in celebrating the life of my son, Joshua Baez—a son, grandson, nephew, cousin, brother, friend, and stranger... yet a soul who loved everyone and gave his all for another. Joshua had an extraordinary ability to connect with people, regardless of how well he knew them. He was a stranger to many, yet he treated everyone he encountered with kindness and compassion. His warm smile and infectious laughter could brighten the darkest of days, and his genuine interest in others made him a confidant to many. Joshua had a unique gift for making people feel valued and understood, often going out of his way to lend a helping hand or offer a listening ear.

In every aspect of his life, Joshua exemplified what it meant to love unconditionally. He was the kind of person who would give his all for another, often putting the needs of others before his own. Whether it was through small acts of kindness or grand gestures of support, he consistently demonstrated a selflessness that inspired those around him. His spirit of generosity was evident in his willingness to volunteer his time, share his resources, and provide comfort to those in need.

As we gather to honor his memory, let us reflect on the countless ways Joshua enriched our lives. Let us celebrate the joy he brought to our families, the laughter he shared with friends, and the love he spread throughout our communities. Though his time with us was far too brief, the impact he made will resonate in our hearts forever. Joshua Baez was a shining light in this world, and as we remember him, may we strive to carry forward his legacy of love, compassion, and unwavering support for one another.

Welcome to "In Memory of Joshua". I am ready to join each of you on this unforeseen journey, united by our mutual love for Joshua.

Blessings, Marcy Baez Lopez; his mother
