Joseph Macaulay
May 22, 2025
We played in marching band together in HS. I only knew him for a bit, but he made coming to school my last year fun. Such an infectious personality. Irony is that he is now buried in the same location as my parents. I say Hi to him everytime I go see them. I'm sorry for your loss... RIP Joseph

Julian and Jane, words are hardly ever enough in times of sorrow and grief. Sometimes it is better to just listen and sometimes it is even better just to be there, to share and let loved ones know you care. If you guys ever need someone to talk to or someone to just be there, you can call on me.

Jane, J., and Jennifer - Tucson has always been too far away from Michigan, but love and memories are forever close... closer than you can imagine during this sad time. We deeply miss you and are praying for you as you travel such a painful road. We know that you have friends and family who are surrounding you with their love as you struggle with your grief and disbelief that Joe was taken into our Lord's arms so young ..... but Yes, he was so in love with with our Lord! We also remember Joe as a very caring, respectful, hugging big brother to Jen. He was proud of his family and very happy to see us when we were in Tucson just a few years ago. Respectful, caring, playful, and prayerful .... Please try to keep these memories in your heart.
