Joe, I do not even know how to describe the shock I feel..Just a couple weeks ago we were talking and you were bigger than life..I was looking forward to football season so I could steal a ride in with you and the family. Now I will always look up right before kickoff to see that smile that says "its on now". Buddy I will miss you for now but will be high fiveing you again one day. Rena and the kids, I know Joe loved you guys more than anything. You could here the pride in his voice when he would give me family updates. Me and Katy have been praying for you guys and will continue to do so..

Dear Rena, Darby, Parker, Hadley Jo, and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your Joe. I never had the privilege of meeting Joe, but I know that he must have been a wonderful man just from knowing his precious family. He leaves a beautiful legacy. I am holding you close in my thoughts and prayers! May God's strength and peace sustain you during this difficult time.

To Joseph's family:
Joe will always be Joseph to me. From the time he was a little boy when Bonnie & I met, I thought he was an adorable, fun kid who grew into a wonderful man. The funny adventures that we watched with glee as he skipped through his youth, and then to have the privilege to see him marry the love of his life, I will always believe that Joseph is one of those people that I will trust to be sitting at the table with Jesus with a smile on his face and a wink in his eye. May God bless his family in the coming days...and keep them strong as they say "see you again", because this I know is true.
Love to you all, Bonnie & John Mackenzie
