Well Joel or Yujaack as we referred to you on AOL...today would have been your 65th birthday. You might have even been surprised again with another birthday party. I really miss your presence in the room and of course I won't have anyone to complain about my Raiders to. I'll be seeing my friend.
My deepest condolences to the Jackson Family, Joel was indeed someone very special.

To the Jackson family my family and church are praying for you all in your time of loss. Personally Jake was one of my earliest memories of a business minded man in Orange mound. He truly loved his family and had their respect. He will be missed.

To the Jackson family I send my condolences. Joel was truly a loving and caring individual. Our paths crossed in Orange Mound, at then Memphis State University(MSU), and in a social club formed at MSU in which he was President. He will be missed.

I shall miss Joel, who was a fixture in the Orange Mound/Melrose community. His community and school spirit will never be forgotten. I have so many mementos that he created and each time I wear one of those special tee shirts, I will think of him and smile. The work that he has done truly speaks for him.
We will continue to keep his family lifted up as they adjust to his physical absence. He will never be forgotten.

To the Family & Friends of Joel, what a special individual God shared with us. I met Joel on AOL many years ago. Social media is amazing when you are given the privilege to meet ppl like Joel as we called (Yujaack, his screen name).
Please accept my condolences and know that my prayers are with you all. Thank you for sharing him with us thru the internet and meeting such a great man of God. He will surely be missed.

Algenner and family, Joel and I were classmates c/o 68, he was a model student in school and such a wonderful person, PERIOD. I spoke with him several times last year to ensure that C.L.O.S.E would be in the Heritage Classics Parade. He was truly a Melrose Golden Wildcat! Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and may God Bless you and your family!
