Joel Edwin Palmer

I just want to express my deepest condolences to Joel´s family. We were the Many High School class of 1972. Shared classes and band. Thankful for our class reunions that we all could visit and catch-up. Again so sorry for your loss and sending prayers.

You can't think of Joel without remembering how he was such a good man all the way to his core. He loved the simple things in life while perfecting his grin-smile - it was endless. He smiled the most while with his family, and for good reason. We will all miss Joel.

My heartfelt condolences to the family . We have cherished great memories with Joel for many years during kids high school years . May god give strength to the family to go through the loss. Andy, Would love to meet you some time. Kala Jaikishen

Sure will miss my buddy "JP". Had some great adventures and great times with he and Andy. Guess I will have to learn to catch sac-a-lait on my own now. Rest easy my friend.

Joel and I met at NSU. We became fast friends, and after NSU he moved to Lafayette, me to New Orleans. We had the best of both worlds. Jazz Fest NO, Lafayette big crawfish, beer, music. Joel met a pretty Cajun lady
and there were good times. I moved to GA and we pretty much lost contact. We hooked up years later. Joel was a great and trustworthy friend. I am proud to say he was my brother. Peace to his family

Andy and family, it is with my forever deepest heartfelt sympathy for your family, May Jesus wrap his loving arms around and carry this family in the coming days. Joel was my classmate and friend, I have so many memories of our years growing up in our little town.

Memories... like the corners of my mind.... The way we were HAPPY days

He loved his ladies!he loved Wylie our traveling wolfie.. he loved Festivals ... especially since he got back into a jazz fest! and his family !My main man!

My heartfelt condolences. I first met Joel in 1987 at Pack & Paddle when I was 15, and I was blessed that our paths continued to cross over the years. He was always the same kind, caring, and encouraging man with a smile that could brighten any day. Heaven has gained a special angel. Until we meet again.

He loved his ladies!! And Willie!land Wylie ! And his family! My main man ! Love

We were shocked and saddened to hear about Joel. Such a great guy with a wonderful family. Our love and prayers go out to you all!

Watched him grow up and loved getting together with him and Andy for good old
Cajun food and lots of laughter.
At his mother's request, I bought all his Carter baby clothes and shipped them to Canada prior to his birth.

Working with Joel at Pack and Paddle was a pure delight. Knowing him throughout the years has been to love him. When he and Andy visited us in Colorado, it was one of the most special times I can remember. My heart goes out to Andy and Max. Please know y'all are forever loved by your Colorado "family." You will always be in our hearts, Robbie, Shane and Simone.

Andy and Max this guy will be missed by many including me! He was fortunate to have you by his side. Max you gave him the best gift ever with those 3 beautiful kids. Andy, you two were a perfect match. Happy was his grandpa first name his middle name should have been fun! Both describe him. Big hugs

Andy and family.... Heart and prayers go out to all. If anyone were fortunate enough to have crossed paths with Joel you were blessed to be one he would never forget to share a smile, hello, story or hug. Peace my friend, you have been an inspiration to many ... today and always.

Andy and family, I am so devastated to hear of Joel´s passing. Wow he was such a great guy and always so fun to be with. I think of the many paddling trips we had together, playing hacky-sack during the breaks and any time there was a lull in the action. Joel was just always upbeat and a good time! May he rest in peace.

The love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I know you and Rex are fishing for big ones up there!!

"Happy" was an awesome grandfather who loved his grandchildren dearly and loved spending time with them! He always had a fantastic smile on his face and love and care for everyone he knew. He will truly be missed.

A good man will be missed terribly. My sincere condolences to the whole family. His loss will be felt

Too many good times ain´t enough! RIP Brim. Fine man, husband, father, grandfather and loyal friend.
