Not long ago, we sadly lost one of the earliest members of Poka, but more importantly, one of my closest friends.
He was one of the kindest, most positive people I’ve ever known. He had an incredible enthusiasm for life and for Poka, and I genuinely can’t think of anyone who disliked him. He left a positive impact on everyone he met.
In the last message he sent me before his final act, he told me how much he loved me and reminded me to never give up on "my" or rather, our clothing brand.
That’s why I want to immortalize him. In our upcoming Poka Fleece collection, there will be an inscription dedicated to him, so that we never forget who he was and the impact he had on so many of us.
JP, I’ll never forget our conversations, our adventures, and all the side quests we shared. Don’t worry, I’ll keep giving it my all and I’ll do my best to make you proud.
To everyone reading this:
You are not alone.
