I think of you often, even after all these years. The world can't prepare us enough to allow in one of the best friends and advocates you could ever ask for, only for them to be taken away without warning, and way too soon. This one left a huge hole that can never fully be patched. I pray for the rest of his family and friends because I know the hole he left behind was unimaginable. He loved them more than life itself and would talk about them all the time. He was so proud of his little siblings. I'll never forget his kindness and motivation. I don't know that I'll ever find a friend that can hold a candle in the wind to my "JD". I miss you more than words and sometimes it physically hurts. When I pass away, bury me with a couple microphones & a boombox so we can have one of our world famous karaoke showdowns. Love you, JD. I'll miss you until I join you, my friend. Hold it down as only you could. Much love, aO
Even though we had our differences, he always provided much positivity in my life. He will be truly missed and I'm deeply saddened the way things ended. RIH my friend!!!!
He had a way of always bringing a smile and a contagious energy that just infected everyone he met. I always enjoyed our shifts together at the hotel- we were the dream team. He will surely be missed. Sending much love and support to Joseph's family and friends
