Joseph F. Rush III

just about every conversation we had, any time we crossed paths or bumped into each other there was always a good laugh. i try and share that same energy. remembering you today brother.

I had spent a little time with you about 3 weeks ago, my car was making a funny noise and it bothered you.. You kept talking about it until I pulled over and said check it out!! You did.. And it was exactly what you said it was. I knew you were a special person and had a good heart. Im glad i got to meet someone like you. Prayers to the family.

Joe, you were my first boyfriend in middle school, and I will not forget the first time we talked at the middle school dance. We had alot of fun back then, and remained friends for a long time. May your soul be at rest and I hope you guide Noah through this journey of life. My condolences to his family.

May you rest in peace brother. You were a great soldier and an important part of 630th Sapper Company. The guys and I will forever remember you and see you through your beloved son Noah. We will dearly miss you and will always be there for Noah and your family.

You have only been gone a week but to me it feels like a lifetime. Everything seems surreal right now, I am numb. I have so many memories of you as a baby and growing up, becoming an uncle and then a father. Every family has its ups and downs but blood is thicker than water and you have always had my back when it mattered. I will miss our talks and laughing with you, your smirk, your smile.....just everything,even our arguments. The girls adored thier uncle and i was proud to be your sister. I am so proud of you for being baptized and know that I will see you again in the kingdom of God. I love you Joe. Forever and always.

Very sorry to hear this news. Such a good soul.

I remember playing baseball with joe and his father as our coach on one of the traveling teams. Joe sr was an awesome coach and I sat the bench with joe and John grove. Those two together we're so funny I never enjoyed sitting the bench more than that year. To joes family I'm so sorry for your loss.

Joe had wisdom far beyond his years. He was always there with advice and a great joke to follow it. He was a heck of a soldier, father, and friend. I will never forget him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Until we meet again brother.

We are going to miss you brother. You were such a great happy uplifting friend. Never forgotten!

Rest easy brother. You will forever be on our hearts.

May u rest in peace.....

Where do I begin brother? You taught me a great many things. Things as simple as how to frame a door or get the best deal on tools. Relatively simple things that would go on to make me the man I am today. You were like the big brother I never had. Rest easy Joe, we will never forget you.

Brother, where do I begin? You were a great team mate and soldier. I will always cherish the many many hours we spent in that truck together. There were so many little things you taught me, like how to frame a door or how to get the best deal on tools. All of this stuff seemed so inconsequential at the time but it made a huge impact on my whole life. You were like a big brother to me. Rest easy Joe, we'll never forget you.

Rest In Peace my brother until we meet again it was An HONOR to serve with you..

We may have not had the memories but your kind heart and gestures will always run deep!!! Rest In Paradise

We send our deepest heartfelt prayers to Joe's family and especially to his son Noah. Joe was a great man and looked up to by many of his Brothers in Arms. He will be remembered like that, funny, giving, caring and one hell of a soldier. He has been called home early and his suffering is no more. Kate, we appreciate everything you and your family is doing. May God lay his hands on your family and Noah and may he help ya'll get Noah thru this with love, hugs and support. RIP till we meet again Rush, don't get swooped on lol

R.I.P. Joe. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, may God be by your side through your time of grief.

Such a highly respected man. Taught so much to the Soldiers of 4th platoon, 630th route clearance company, 7th engineer battalion.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you Michele and Noah in this difficult time. We love you.

So sad! Most of our memories of Joe come from years of sports with our sons. Prayers and God's blessings to the family. Love you Michelle and Noah!!

RIP Joe. You were like a little brother to me and I will miss you terribly.
