Joseph Carles Obituary

He was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness on June 30, 2002 and continued his dedication to his faith and beloved God, Jehovah, until death.

This is cousin Sharon Gibson in Oklahoma City. We love you all very much and are so sorry we could not be there for the service (we've been sick), but we'll be listening in on the phone tie-in. I want to say that when I think of examples of Christian faith and endurance, I think of Brandon, Marketa, and Nellie. I was telling Nellie at the District Convention this summer that so many get such a "bad deal" in this old world, and the 3 of you certainly have. My prayers are with you all that you may have peace now knowing that Brandon is sleeping and waiting for the resurrection. When he opens his eyes again, he will be in the Paradise and will finally get to live "the real life" - 1 Timothy 6:19. We hope to come and visit soon, love you! (I'm adding a pic of Nellie here from the DC)

Dear Carles Family,
I've not had the privilege of meeting Brandon, but after reading these well written paragraphs about his love for Our Father, Jehovah, I am truly looking forward to knowing him when he is made new. Much love to your family,

Marketa and Jason,

I was so sorry and shocked to hear about Brandon. I remember him as a young kid with a big smile. Prayers to you and the family.
