We are so saddened to announce that our beloved Josh passed away surrounded by loved ones at home on Friday, July 23 following his battle with cancer.

Services at this time will be private. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you honor his memory by sending donations to support the brain cancer research lab of physician-scientist Adrienne A. Boire, MD, PhD. Dr. Boire was one of the doctors caring for Joshua after the cancer spread from his lung to his cerebral spinal fluid. A fund has been established, "In Memory of Joshua Zavin" and you can find the link to this page below.

You may also donate by check, made payable to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Should you choose to donate by check, please indicate on the check memo line that the fund you are donating to is “In Memory of Joshua Zavin.” The check should be mailed to the following address:
