I am so very sorry for your loss. Joseph always was one of my favorite people. He had the kindest, but most mischievous smile and laugh of anyone I've ever known. I remember so many times, when we were younger, he came over, parked in my driveway, and we just sat on his tailgate talking about life, music, the future and the things we had hoped to achieve in it. I'll never forget you, Joseph...calling you "Joe" never did sound right to me. I pray for the Oliver's & Hottinger's, as well as for his love and precious little ones. May God bless and keep you always.

Thinking and praying for Joe's loved ones during this difficult time of loss. I haven't talked to Joe in years, but I have so many wonderful memories from my childhood. He and Adam were always up to something with me trying to tag along. Whether it be from running around Farmland, riding dirt bikes, or playing flashlight tag I will always remember him and smile.

Yes, I have fond memories of Joe buzzing in the yard on his 4 wheeler, grinning from ear to ear, and giving me a verbal "jab". I strongly remember his "work ethic" which he learned from his parents. Wish I could give him one final "jab". He was the perfect example of a genuine farm kid. I can only imagine the grief of the family and his special friends.

Dearest Hottinger's, my heart is so broken for all of you, I can't imagine what you are going through. I will cherish forever all the great memories of the lil toe headed ornery boy to the great man Joe was. We did get to FaceTime with Joe several months ago when he was over at the Stanley's , his beautiful smile and his sense of humor could always make my ❤ Smile. I so wish we could be there for all of you. May God guide you and hold you tight thru this terrible tragedy. We love you all so much....Troy and Julie
