God bless Joseph Merjil. I met him freshman year in Spanish class. 1of the 1st homies I met that year. We had good conversations & he had a good sense of humor. We remained acquaintances through high school bumping into each other now&then. Ran into him few years back& was surprised he approached me& remembered my name. We had a chat& exchanged numbers. I will NEVER forget him. He's definitely one of a kind. I'm deeply saddened by his passing. My sincerest condolences to his wife, children& familia.

Cousin, I can't believe you are really gone. Our hearts ache knowing we will never get to see your smile or hear your laugh in person again. My last memories of you are dancing with all of us at my wedding. I'm so glad you got to be apart of my big day! The last time I saw you was at Vanessa's for baby Frank's birthday. You expressed your love for Esther and how you wanted to be just like my parents...married to her forever. I'm glad she was your forever. I have always loved the way you love for our family and I know we will all miss that the most from you. We miss you deeply and will never let your memory be forgotten. Rest in Peace big cousin.

Joseph always showed respect and honored his family. Never had to ask him for a hug. He spent many holidays and good times with us. I remember I tried to hide the salt shaker from him each time he ate but he always asked for it. He made me smile. There's nothing I wouldn't do for Joseph and my sister Esther. Thank you Joe for being so good to her and your kids. Your memory lives on, brother. There will be no other like you. Rest in peace now.
