"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"

Jose's sister Diana wrote a little essay to win a radio contest. The subject matter needed to reflect on a friend or family member that deserves to meet their idol. I don't think she won but it was a cute little write-up nonetheless and I wanted to share it here...

I feel like words will never express how great this guy really is and how much he means to me but here goes nothing! Jose is, without a doubt, one of my most favorite human beings on this planet. I have been blessed to have had the privilege of growing up with him and spending around 210, 379 hours by his side. I feel lucky just to know him. The joy he brings is something beyond my comprehension. I'm not trying to make him out to be a god or something like that (Although he wouldn't mind that haha) . He is just so great. I'm thankful for his support & constant encouragement. He motivates me to do better each day. He inspires me to do better. Everyone loves him, he's hard-working, and all around AWESOME dude.
If I could give him the world I would. He helped raise all of us, we are six in total and he's the oldest. The man of the house. One of the men in my life ( I have two other brothers). I'm so thankful he hung around for so long, he is a big blessing to our family, the biggest! He always keeps me humble and tells me to be thankful for whatever we have, our health, our friends, our family, this life. We live in Burbank now, but we previously lived in Highland Park, and even though he's moved back to Highland Park to this tiny, cute & humble backhouse, he still takes care of all of us. He's always calling me to make sure everything is good...that I'm taking care of the car so it will take good care of me. The car, a honda civic, used to be his baby! lol He'd always say "who's sick whip is this?!" as we approached the old, rusty vehichle...[..], don't let him I called it old or rusty! haha
Jose Saucedo is a genuine guy, loves wholeheartedly...you know that "person" we always talk about to others? The kind of person you want to meet, or be, that's great to have around, in your corner, super friendly, nonjudgmental, makes you laugh, and who will always have your back? That is this guy!!! I know he would do anything for the ones he loves. He would help people with their cars if they needed it. I know he's always helping a friend. My friends would even tell me in appreciation that he helped them out with their car. He's caring, respectful, honest, humble, and funny as hell! That's one of my favorite things about him...and probably the first thing his friends would say too. That he is a cool guy and makes them laugh. He always makes me laugh. Just don't put him on the spot! Lol
Also good to know, he works at Pepboys in Burbank, absolutely LOVES Chino Moreno, the Deftones, he loves them! He loves cars & working on them. He's gone back to school to get a better education, to get a better job, to better himself, and they want to get married, Jose & [his girlfriend]. He just moved out about 9 months ago with his girlfriend, [...] (who is just as great, I love her!) . I love them both! But yeah, what more can I say, I love the guy, SO MUCH! Please, with all my heart, I AM TELLING YOU, choose him. He is SO GREAT. He deserves it.
