Joseph Buzzell Obituary

BUZZELL, JOSEPH GOOD "JOE" 29, died on Monday. He was the dear son of Guy and Bonnie Good Buzzell. Joe was a graduate of Classical High School and an Eagle Scout. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with honors. He was employed as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Rhode Island Hospital. But most of all he was a wonderful friend, son, brother, artist, musician, and philosopher. Joe was fascinated by rhythms, sounds, shapes and patterns of all kinds. His passions were drawing and creating experimental electronic music. He displayed his artwork and performed his compositions on many occasions. Joe had an endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge. His kindness, creativity, wry humor and intelligence touched many and will be missed. Besides his parents he leaves a brother, William Buzzell, and Will's partner Cara Collins of Providence. His extended family includes his Godmother Becky Anderson; Chris, Lexi and Jason Anderson, William and Anna Kimes, and the Doughtys "across the street". He also leaves his grandmother and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. The memorial service will be held Saturday at 10am in St Martin's Church, Orchard Ave., Providence. Burial will be private. Donations in Joe's memory may be made to AS220, 115 Empire St., Providence, R.I. 02903. Condolences may be left at monahandrabblesherman.com

It often seems that life's lesson are far less important or complex than the lessons we learn from death. Joe's passing is teaching me many things about life, love, family, relationships, regrets, what is important, and what is not.
Joe's character was too grand for this Earth, and I think we're all lucky to have gotten to experienced the person that he was. I'm grateful to have played some small part in Joe's life, because he has played quite a large one in mine. I'm also thankful for both our last names to begin with the letter "B." Sharing homeroom with him was probably the only reason I showed up to school most days.
It is needles to say, but Joe was a great person. He was funny, deep, caring, creative and intelligent on so many levels.
To Joe's parents; I thank you for giving the world this great person. I hope you find a way to make sense of this monumental loss. My thoughts are with you and your family, and shall be for quite a while to come.

What a source of joy Joe was! His enthusiasm for everything was contagious. It was a delight to watch him grow into a handsome and accomplished young man. I, alas, know how hard it is to lose a son at such a young age. Please take comfort in the memories of how much Joe enriched the lives of all of us who knew him.
