It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend Joel, He was someone’s son, someone’s brother, and someone who meant the world to so many whose life was tragically cut short. He brought so much joy, laughter, and love into the lives of everyone he met. If you knew Joel, then you know he was full of life, goals, and dreams. Our hearts ache knowing he was taken from us before he had the chance to fully experience life for what it truly is.

It hurts to know that we won’t get to witness each other’s milestones, that our kids will never meet, that we won’t get to celebrate birthdays together again. We would always say we were all our 4 Lifers, that our friendship had to be a forever thing. It was never supposed to be this way… He was the kind of person who was always laughing, dancing, or making jokes; his spirit brought so much light wherever he went.

He has left such a big void in our hearts. It breaks our hearts that we didn’t get to say goodbye and how unexpectedly he was taken from us. During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for your support to help cover funeral expenses and provide some relief to his grieving family. Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward giving Joel the farewell he deserves. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, prayers, and generosity.
