Joseph Guzman

Joseph Liam “Joey” Guzman, age 5, passed from this life on June 28, 2022. Born September 8, 2016, to Yasmin Meza and Joel Guzman, Joey was known to his family as a costume‑loving child who carried a superhero’s imagination and an easy, joyful smile. He delighted in play, dress‑up, and small everyday adventures that made ordinary moments lively and full of laughter.

A little boy with a big personality, Joey loved to try on costumes year‑round and pretend to be the heroes he admired. Those who knew him recall a sense of wonder in his eyes and a humor that could brighten a household. He is remembered by his parents and loved ones for the warmth he brought into family life and the playful spirit that shaped his short but cherished years.

Joey’s family sought the community’s support to honor his life and cover funeral expenses; friends and neighbors answered with compassion and care, a reflection of how deeply his presence touched those around him. While the family continues to grieve, they hold close memories of Joey’s laughter, his bright imagination, and the small traditions—costumes, make‑believe, and sunny smiles—that made him uniquely Joey.

Though taken far too soon, Joseph Liam Guzman will be remembered for the joy he shared, the love he inspired in his family, and the many brief, bright moments that remain in the hearts of those who loved him. May his memory be a gentle comfort to his parents, relatives, and the community that mourns him.
