In Loving Memory of Joel

With broken hearts, we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of our beloved brother, Joel, on June 22, 2025. He was only 25 years old—far too young to leave this world, and far too special to ever be forgotten.

Joel was the kind of person who lit up every room he walked into. He had a heart that gave without question, a laugh that made others smile even on their worst days, and a spirit full of kindness, humor, and quiet strength. He was not just a brother—he was a friend, a protector, and a source of love and stability for so many of us.

This loss has left a deep and painful void in our lives, and as we begin to process this heartbreak, we’re also facing the unexpected financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. We’re creating this GoFundMe to ask for help—something that isn’t easy, but we know we can’t do this alone.

Your support will go directly toward:

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
