Man. I just found out about this from a mutual friend. Joaquin was a friend from back in the day at Castle Park High School. He was one of the few people who was nice to me. Even as football players, he was one without an ego. I remember running into him at Chula Vista mall back in the day and buying tapes and cd's. He always greeted you with a smile and spoke to you as if you were a long time friend. This world lost a kind and compassionate human being.

Rest In Paradise, brother. Heaven has  a giant angel now.

My heart is heavy, and my condolences to the Naputi family. Though I had not talked to Joaquin in almost 20 plus year's, I always considered him a friend.  Joaquin and I met at Southwestern Community College between 91 and 92, he was such a kind and genuine person, I'm glad to have the pleasure of meeting him.  Thanks, for letting me meet your family and friends it was a pleasure. I'll see you down the road.

I met Joaquin during our school and would hang out during lunch talking about the news and whatnot. After high school, I worked with him at Home Club. One of my favorite memories was running into he and Ed Valerio when they we co-workers at the Chula Vista Public Library.  Joaquin was always nice to me and a friendly guy wherever he went. Rest in peace, my brother...

One of my first cousins.  Tall, handsome, and strong.  Great sense of humor and no limits to his generosity.  This is how I will remember you. 

Countless memories all these years and in particular of getting in the way of the TV while the game was on while playing in the house with his sisters Christina and Isabel.   Forever in all the hearts of the lives he touched along the way, and forever loved by his family.   Until the next time cousin.  Love you.

I first met Joaquin very early in middle school and quickly developed a friendship that lasted through high school and college until now.  He was my best man at my wedding and someone I respected for the person he was; someone always willing to help no matter the circumstances and a loyal person who never expected something in return.  To lose a friend is very difficult.  I'll choose to remember all our shared memories and be eternally grateful for him being in my life.

Rest In Peace, Joaquin.

Your friend,

Ed

Joaquin was such a big kid and the biggest jokester! He would give my boys comic books, candy, and superhero figurines.  His favorite superhero is Thor and Superman.  He always strived to be the best version of himself working hard and doing his best.  The family will continue to share many stories with his niece, nephews, and especially his daughter Kaela.  He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.  You will always be in our hearts Joaquin until we see you again.   
Love you so much 
Tina
