Joseph was a proud graduate of Modesto High School, Class of 2024. He brought joy and creativity to every classroom and cherished the friendships and memories he formed during his educational journey. His passion for learning and his quick wit were a source of inspiration to his peers and teachers alike. From a young age, Joseph had a remarkable ability to find joy in the simple pleasures of life. He spent countless hours building intricate Lego creations, each structure a testament to his imagination and patience. Joseph had an eye for hidden treasures, delighting in the thrill of thrifting and unearthing unique finds on Facebook Marketplace. His collection of bones was a reflection of his curious nature and his desire to understand the world around him. Joseph's humor was infectious, and he was always ready with a joke to lighten the mood. His ability to bring laughter into the room was a gift he shared generously, leaving a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. His kindness and warmth were unparalleled, and his gentle spirit touched the hearts of many. A service to celebrate Joseph's life will be held on July 19, 2026, at 4:30 PM at the McHenry Mansion, located at 906 15th St, Modesto, CA 95354.

Joseph's life, though brief, was filled with love, laughter, and the boundless joy he shared with all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever cherished in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know his gentle soul.
