It is with great sadness and a dash of relief that we announce the passing of the legendary Lamel Brice on July 28, 2023, in Stockton, California. He was born on May 5, 1960, because clearly Cinco de Mayo needed a hero.

Lamel was a man of many talents, or at least he thought so. He attempted to break the world record for eating the most tacos in one sitting, but sadly, he barely made it past three. His love for tacos was unparalleled, but his stomach had other plans.

In his prime, Lamel was a regular contestant on the world-famous TV show "America's Got No Talent." He proudly showcased his unique skill of balancing spoons on his nose, much to the entertainment of his pet dog, Fido. He always claimed Fido had a refined taste for fine art.

When it came to fashion, Lamel was truly ahead of his time. He singlehandedly brought back the glorious mullet hairstyle and proudly wore it like a peacock flaunts its feathers. To say he was a trendsetter would be an understatement – he was more like a trendsetter who accidentally tripped and started a fashion revolution.

Throughout his life, Lamel had an unwavering love for all things technology. He was known for his vast collection of floppy disks, his love for outdated flip phones, and his uncanny ability to befriend every robot he met. We suspect his toaster will be delivering the eulogy at his funeral.

Lamel also had a knack for inventing, though most of his ideas were a bit... eccentric. He once proposed a flying bicycle powered by salsa dancing. Sadly, the venture never took off, literally or figuratively, but that didn't deter him from pursuing the next big invention.

His passion for laughter was contagious. Lamel always aimed to make even the grumpiest of folks chuckle. His jokes might have been cheesy, punny, and occasionally made no sense whatsoever, but they always had the power to bring a smile to even the gloomiest of faces.

In his final years, Lamel dedicated himself to the noble art of karaoke, much to the dismay of his neighbors. They often puzzled over the mysterious sounds that emanated from his house late at night. It turns out there's a reason the karaoke version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" comes with a strict volume warning.

Lamel Brice may have left this world with a humorous bang, but his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew him. We take solace in knowing that wherever he is, he's up there somewhere, spoon-balancing like a champ, and finally enjoying all the tacos his heart desires.
