In shock still in hearing of the passing of Joseph Melendez this weekend. Although I just got to know you really during negotiations in L. A. this year we connected right from the start. Truly wore your heart on your sleeve and cared. We talked about being oddballs growing up, not always fitting in, our hopes and dreams, families, finding our place in the world and fighting to be seen and heard fully. I will miss you. Rest in Peace, Joseph

Eric Goins Wrote,

My sweet friend, Joseph Melendez. We didn’t know each other long but we fought the good fight together for 6 weeks. In that short chaotic time, we still found a way to spend real quality time together sharing stories, wondering if our laundry would ever be returned, and seeing so much of ourselves in each other. It didn’t take long for me to love you like a brother. I looked forward to making new stories with you for the rest of my life. But it was not meant to be. Until we meet again in a better place, rest well with all my love, my friend.
