Joel Vargas

To the family,
My deepest sympathies. I can't even imagine how to say any encouraging words for such a tragedy or any actions I could do to help you out, just know that you all have been, and will continue to be, in my heart and prayers.
To Joel,
I never met you but from what I've heard you were an extraordinary man with a big heart. I'm sorry I never got to meet you but I want to say thank you for being who you were, such a great brother, honest man, devoted boyfriend, loving son,...

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS JOINED US THIS MORNING IN OUR SADDIEST MOMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO START EXPLAINING NOT HOW MY BROTHER IN LAW DIED BUT HOW HE LIVED, HE LIVED LIFE TO THE FULLEST. HE TOUCHED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR HEARTS IN HIS OWN SPECIAL WAY. HE WAS A JOYFUL PERSON WHO ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE. NO MATTER IF TIMES WERE GOOD OR BAD HE WAS A YOUNG MAN WHO WAS LOVED BY MANY. HE WAS A GREAT SON, GRANDSON, NEPHEW, COUSIN, BROTHER, BROTHER IN LAW, UNCLE, FRIEND, AND...

Joel was such a great person. If this is what God intended to be- his life must be worth more than anyone imagined. From High School to kicking back at 'Senior Only' parties, I will forever hold all those great memories close to my heart. He was so proud of his family and talked about all of you constantly. He loved being an uncle! I still remember cruising in our "wannabe" Lincoln for Prom like it was just yesterday... being advised to save my salad for after the main course instead of...

There are no words to explain how I feel about this. I cant say I'm just sad because that word does not begin to explain what my feelings are,they are so much more than that. I saw Joel go through so much that I always told him I admired his courage. The four years that we spent together felt like more than four years, just because we tried to spend as much time as possible together. I remember that sometimes on the weekends I would go with Joel ,Rita, and David to the stores.Also going to...

David, Rita, Inez and David Jr.: I am very sorry for your loss. I know they are no words to describe what you may be going through. Now you have someone to watch over you, "Joel your Guardian Angel". I just want you all to know that we will always have you in our prayers. Take care and may god bless you all always.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

Joel,

Although you are not amongst us in flesh you are here with us in spirit.... Your energetic-self and that smile that lit up every room; No words left to express only the silence to endure. I will remember you always as Inez's little brother who made me laugh. The kind hearted man you became. I know God had a bigger plan for you. We may not understand it now but in knowing that, may we all find comfort.

David, Rita, Inez and David Jr;

Death leaves a heartache no one...

My Cousin Joel, So many thoughts and childhood memories come to mind when I think of your name. since you've been gone, Not a day has gone by where i haven't thought about those times. Times that seem so far back, i find myself in tears because i can't remember them all. We used to be together every day. Till every day turned into every other day, then every other month. It's funny though, I can see Your face when I think of all those days. There wasn't a day where I didn't hear your goofy...

To my nephew,
You are living among the angels now. And I know you're in good hands. Even though you were here for such a short while you were always in my heart and always will be.
Love you,
Uncle Danny
