Joaquin was a devoted son, cherished brother, loving uncle and proud father of two daughters. His strength was matched by his kindness. He carried a quiet humility, a generous spirit, and a heart that made everyone around him feel seen and valued.
His service as a US Forestry firefighter and EMT was not just a career, but a reflection of who he was—a man willing to face danger to safeguard others and the world he loved.
Though he is gone, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew him. We celebrate his life and the countless memories he gave us.
