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.

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.

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.

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.
