Team José initially served as a way for José and Jen to keep friends and family updated while also advocating for others living with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). With his passing, we're transitioning to becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports people living with ALS to tell their stories, build community, and live with comfort and dignity.
💝 today's the day

The day is finally here. Friends, family, and colleagues will gather at Central Florida Public Media (formerly WMFE) from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. for a second celebration of life. If you're in a timezone outside of Florida, that's about two hours from now. As some of you know, I made the difficult decision not to be there today. For anyone else who cannot be there in person, for any reason, you're invited to take a few minutes to remember José today: sit with your favorite memories, light a candle, tell a cheesy joke, make a toast, or enjoy a quiet moment. Whatever feels right for you. But most importantly, know how much he loved you. Even better, find a way to make someone else laugh or feel special today (as José was so good at doing). For those who will be in attendance and see this note, if you happen to snap a few photos or capture any video clips, please take a moment to upload them here. José's children and sisters have coordinated all the logistics and are looking forward to seeing old friends, extended family, and meeting some of you for the first time while celebrating his life, accomplishments, and legacy. More on what's next soon. 💗 Jen |
