Mourning the death of Michael Harmon and Jordan Celotto, beloved artists and advocates, and devoted members of their community
Senate Resolution J 484 expresses the legislature's condolences for the deaths of Michael Harmon and Jordan Celotto, two Allentown, New York artists and community advocates who died in March 2025. The resolution recognizes their contributions to public art (like the "Stonewall Nation Mural"), LGBTQ+ advocacy, and organizing community events such as Pride celebrations and the Intersect event. It formally mourns their passing, honors their legacy of service, and directs copies of the resolution to be sent to their families. As a commemorative resolution, it has no legal effect beyond this symbolic gesture of remembrance.
