Joseph "Jody" Dowden

Well, cousin, I miss you just knowing you are no longer here. We had some really good times when we were kids and I loved you like a brother. You had some really lovely people waiting on you in heaven and hey we will catch up with you eventually. My love and prayers to your family.

I will miss you Jody. You brought a lot of laughter to our family. You taught our son so much. Things he will carry with him his whole life through. I thank God for the day you called on us because I got to know you even better. You were amazing and a charmer. Your smile I will never ever forget. Thank you for your friendship. And for being the uncle you were to Charles. Also the great uncle to our children. We love you for ever.

I love Jody and will miss him. He is in a good place now with no suffering. R.i.p. Jody. We had many good years together and I will remember you forever.

I love you and your family so much. I will always regret not keeping in touch with you because of my own selfish anger. You were such a great man to me and mom, you always provided and took care of me like I was your own daughter. I wish I could take back all the time I spent being angry and just spend it with you, but I know that you understood and forgave me because that was the kind of man you were. I will always remember you and all you did for us. My greatest childhood memories are...

Jody I know you are in heaven celebrating with Jesus now. I will always remember your sense of humor. You always had a funny joke. I know we will see you again one day! You will be missed. Love Ashlie

I love you and miss you daddy

I will miss you Jody more than you'll ever know. I will treasure the last 2 years I had with you because I would have never gotten to know such a wonderful man. All the running around we did, you telling me " turn this up Sugar its a good one" Then we sing and you play the air fiddle. Your smile could light up a room right along with your jokes. I've never been more honored in my life the day you told me I was the daughter you never had. I'm a proud to call you Dad. I hope I did you proud...
