I'm Joel Rosales' sister and I'm sorry to inform you that my brother was in a tragic accident on September 9, 2005 @ 10:30pm (last night). He was happy and riding and although his life was cut short, we know that he was doing what he loved to do. Thanks for being there for him - he loved this forum and everyone in it.
My condolances to you and your family. RIP Jose
I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your brother :(
Rest in peace, Joel.

You have my deepest sympathy. As a (former) soldier and motorcyclist, I've lost many friends over the years, and coping with the loss of a loved one is always an ordeal.
My best to you and your family; though I've only been a member of this forum for a week, I know from painful experience that your brother will be missed by all.
Godspeed Joel, may you rest in peace.

wow...that's really sad. i had exchanged private conversations with him many times. i'm really sorry to hear that...it's quite shocking. :(
OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS?!??!?!
I was just talking to him on the 8th on the other board (gtamotorcycle)...and he told me to drop by this morning at 10:30am to check out his bike cuz he's selling it...I didn't go cuz I was out riding...
this is the sadest thing that have ever happened so close to me...you have my deepest sympathy...I wish the best to your and your family...even though Joel and I never met in person...I always felt that he was a friend at heart...now I regret that when I had the chance to meet him...I didn't make the effort to make it happen...things can just happen in an instant...but I'm sure that he's in a better place now...and that he will be missed by all...
rest in peace brother...
mourn his death, then in time, celebrate his life.
however short it may have been he died happy and satisified. in time I hope you can understand that, and come to peace.
I also hope that you do not end up bitter twards those who still practice the lifestyle that your brother chose for himself.
Please accept my sincerest condolences.
Words cannot adequately describe how sorry I am for your tragic loss.
My very best wishes to you and your family during this difficult time.
oh.. sorry to hear that.. we never properly met... earlier this year.. I was in car but he was on bike to Scarborough town center.. and I recognized his bike right away..
please take care of yourself and your family!

Yeah, you could tell from his posts and PM's that he got a lot out of life. More than many that live to be old, old men. That is so sad.
I am so sorry too - I don't know what to say except I only wish I could have talked with him, he sounded like a stand-up guy. Deepest condolences to you and your family...
You and you family have me deapest condolences. It is very hard to loose a loved one, especially when they are so young and full of life.
I'm very sorry...
Losing someone so young... Awful.
My deepest condolences to the family.
:(
Man, this September has really really REALLY sucked.
:x
Lost two friends in my unit to an IED on the first.
Hurricane Katrina wiped out my wife's family's house and... whole friggin' city.
And this is the third or forth bike fatality of someone I've known online this month.
Makes me wanna crawl under a rock and wait for October (or for the next six months)...
:dunno:
I'm am so sorry. :( You guys are in my thoughts.
Oh, man. :( My deepest sympathy.
I am sorry to hear such bad news, please accept my sincere condolences.
God. I'm sick about this. I'm away from the board for 3 days and come back to read this. It's very depressing :( What can I possibly say to the family to make things better?
So tragic, what can I say.
I was recently touched by a family tradgedy and I derived some comfort from the messages of goodwill and brotherhood on this board. I hope you are able to do the same.
Joel and I never met, although it is always sad to see a brother go down. RIP Joel, and ride on where ever you may be.
sigh...rip gstwin bro.......
I'm sorry for your loss please accept my deapest condolences to you and your family.
I can't believe it. I am so so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies.
wow...cant beleive it. Its almost asif we just talked to him. Im sorry for your loss. Its a cruel world, you just got to be careful while riding a motorcycle. Sorry again to hear.
:(
the family has my prayers and thoughts... I too, had some small talk with him, he was one of ours. :(
Sorry for your loss, my prayers are with all those who are affected by this loss.
sorry for your loss - your family has my sincerest condolences
...I never did talk directly with him, but he did sound like a great individual. After looking over some of his posts, I can say he seems to have been a classy guy who loved to have fun. He left us on his GS, which he undoubtably loved to ride and work on...
You have my prayers,
Tyler.
Sorry for your loss, may his life live on in all of us
Joel will be remembered. Rest in peace.
May his spirit ride along us. Rest in peace, brother!
I just read this and I am speechless. My condolences to his family and friends.
Does anybody have the address of the family & the name of his son? I want to send a little something for the college fund.
PM me if you have it.
Condolences go out to the family and friends... it is especially sad to hear he left a little one behind.

YGPM.
haven't been browsing this forum lately but I'm shocked about what happened and it makes me sad to know it happened to someone who was so enthusiastic about riding and the gs. I spoke with him a couple times in pm's and have nothing to say about him except he was exceptionally kind.
I'm sure he will be greatly missed on gstwin.com.
My condolences.
OMG!!!!
I've been gone for sometime from the board here and I'm trying to catch up on things here and to find out about a fellow member and rider like this is shocking.....
Rest in peace brother.......
condolonces. i know how it feels to lose a sibling, i lost my baby brother 3 years ago to an accident as well.
i knew joel thru these message boards and he was enthusiastic about his bike. we have had several conversations on pm and even teased about getting the most mods on our bikes.
to hear of this news deeply saddens me. you and your family are in my prayers. god bless.
