Joe Eamer

I moved to Orange County not knowing a soul. Somehow, you ended up living in the same building as me, and my life has never been the same.

You are a friend I can always depend on and rely on—someone who never believes in holding back and whose way of thinking I have often found myself trying to adopt. You and I have always been yin and yang. I sometimes wonder: If I could go back in time and buy Bitcoin, but it meant never becoming friends with Joe, would I do it? I wouldn't. Ever.

You have left a date to come play Rocket League with me. I can always rely on you being there — whether it is billiards lessons no matter how bad I was, talking shit about life, or knowing exactly how to bring me up when I need it. And through everything, you have always been a brother to me.

Throughout all of our adventures, you have never once said no. Even when I said no to going somewhere, you would simply show up, call me an idiot, and make me go anyway. You have also taught me enough British English that I could probably be confused for someone from London.

I genuinely cannot imagine my life without you as a friend, man. I am so unbelievably lucky that we found each other.
