Not sure what to say?

Joseph was an amazing person and a gifted artist. You can say I grew up knowing him when he started with my cousin Kim Jew and became a client and friend. I will miss him terribly.

Joseph had a beautiful soul and truly cared about people. He took great care to remember little things about you and bring beauty to the world in every way he could. He will always be remembered as a wonderful human being.

Oh my goodness, I just found out about Joseph. It literally breaks my heart that he is gone. I saw him in December and he was very upbeat and looking forward to the future. Sincerest sympathies to his family.

I just learned of the passing of my friend..after trying to call him from weeks and weeks....he was the most giving gentle human being I knew and so strong willed...i knit him a scarf for Xmas which he wore every day....He cared and worried so about others and never himself.....an angel has risen.........He was an Angel to all who knew him...

I'm sadden to hear you are gone from this world. You accomplished a lot while you were here. I remember when you were the Bulldog for Albuquerque High and you would pick up Brenda Montez and flip her and we would laugh and laugh. You were a joy to be around. Rest in Peace my friend.

Rest in peace Joseph. You were a great mentor and a dear friend. I am heartbroken to hear that you are gone. I will miss you so much. The time I spent as your understudy greatly impacted my life for good.
Kindly and respectfully,
Dr. Melissa Ortega

I remember him as a fine and talented person. Condolences to the friends and family, especially my Aunt Emily Vigil. Edward and Loretta Vigil.

Rest In Peace cousin! Many great memories!

Joseph, May you rest in the loving arms of the Angels.
May God's love and His grace & light shine upon your spirit for all eternity.
