Wow, has it really already been over a year? It feels like just last week we were being stupid at the lunch table. We had the OK2SAY assembly today. that was rough, but at least we know you're there with us, making dumb jokes. We love you, Joe.

Joe was such a great person and he was always such a fun guy to be around. I always saw him rocking some sort of band merch and his hair was almost always dyed, I was just waiting for him to dye it rainbow. He will be greatly missed and we all love him so much.

Joe was the bestest person you could get and friend, He helped me through tough times and when I was getting bullied and tormented he was there to comfort me... I think I would have been lost and wouldn't be able to get through 7-8th grade if it wasn't for him to help. I love you Joseph 💙💜❤

I had the privilege and honor to have Joe in three of my classes this school year. He was an articulate, smart, humorous and helpful young man. He contributed greatly to many classroom discussions providing great insights and knowledge especially in history. He will be missed so much! My continued thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and friends. Yours truly, Lori

I am thinking of and sending prayers to the family. Your son and my daughter played in band together at Wyoming and I remember seeing him play at the concerts. May the fun & loving memories you have somewhat comfort you during this time. ❤️❤️

It is difficult to put into words how much we miss you, Joe. One of our band family members is gone and our hearts are aching. Tonight was homecoming and so many were marching in honor of you. I pray that God might be holding you in his arms right now. My last memory of Joe was this past week when he was listening to the piccolo trumpet and then the alto flute. After I played the alto flute, Joe blurted out "The difference is that was really beautiful, but that (the piccolo trumpet) was just annoying!" I was laughing pretty hard at that one! If you are having a service and would like some special music, just say the word. We would be happy to help. Much love to your family.
