I'm very sorry for your loss, I just saw his case on first 48 and wanted to extend my condolences. I know he's dancing with the Angels

Every time I hear this name or see his face I smile and remember all the wonderful qualities he had, watching him become a fine young man was a privilege

To the Sodd family, I'm sorry for your loss. Although I never knew this fine young man, I was struck with sorrow after seeing his case profiled on The First 48. It's such a tragedy that the world will never get to see just how much more joy he could have brought to it through his artistry. Rest in Peace buddy.....

I'm so so sorry he looked like a very promising dancer I'm sorry your life got taken so very young keep on dancing my friend

I just saw this case on The first 48 and I cant even imagine the pain his parents are still going through. I hope you find peace within yourself and God grant you Tye serenity you need.

Some people change a small moment in your life. Others, though, change who you are and that affects the rest of your life. Joe was one of those people. it's been so many years, yet I am forever grateful for those moments and for so many random memories - for jumping too high, for crimson & clover, for the "it's just a fact" moments. I miss you, Joe.
