Joe Mendoza’s Memorial Fund

in loving memory

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever.”
~ Gandhi

Joe was a proud husband, father, son, and friend to many. He lived an amazing life that was driven by a passion for helping others and elevating those around him. Joe’s selflessness, kind heart, and optimism will forever be remembered by those who knew him. Upon his cancer diagnosis, Joe approached his fight with great courage, hope, and tenacity.

Regardless of the outcome, Joe wanted to be remembered as a fighter and to live on not only through body but through spirit. It is through this spirit that we honor Joe’s grand legacy and advance the fight against cancer for those who need it most.

Father God, I know that you don’t always use the most qualified person to do your work. Sometimes you use ordinary people like me, and equip them to work in your harvest. Amen.

The Mendoza family asks that you continue Joe’s Legacy, with a gift in his name to the Osborne Head & Neck Foundation

Make a Donation My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26

Remembering Joe

Joe’s life serves as an inspiration to me, and I will miss him, but I will not forget my friend. I will continue to keep him alive, through my work, and my deepest hope is that others will join me to continue his legacy.
