Joel Scott Moreland
1988-2016

He started while attending Alvin Community College and continued while he was pursuing his degree at the University of Houston. His caring and giving nature in life continued even after God called him home, as he donated a part of himself to the UT Health and Science Research Center.
A memorial service for Joel will be held Saturday, July 30, 2016 at 2 PM in the chapel of Heights Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that monetary donations be made to 89.3 KSBJ radio station.

We grieve with you as you endure the great loss of your son, brother, and grandson. I thought so much about the impact of Joel's life as so many have shared how he made them feel - important, special, worth doing life with. His was clearly a life well lived as his greatest efforts were invested in his friends and family. Many spend a lifetime with far less impact, but Joel seemed to understand the great value of people. He generosity of spirit lives on in the multitude of those who received his kindness, time, listening ear, humor, sacrifice, and love. May his impact on others be a comfort to you as you consider the fruit of his love for others. Keeping you all in prayer through this deep valley.

"Lover of music" I remember his love for music and jeeps! We both had worked at KSBJ part time and I spoke with him about our love for music and we both loved our Jeeps because of how it gave you a sense of "Freedom" Joel will be remembered by me as a very gentle, kind, passionate spirit!

Dear Scott, Mona, Betsy, and all of the entire family,

We certainly share this Great Loss with you all, and continually praying for comfort and healing blessings. We just need to remember all of the good times we enjoyed with him.

I didn't know Joel very well but when he began working at KSBJ several years ago I was on my way out and had the privilege to train him. I remember him being very thankful and we followed each other around on Facebook after that. He was kind, diligent, listened well and went on to do more in the industry than I did. I'm sorry for the family's loss but thankful that you are grieving with the hope of Jesus!
