It is with a very heavy heart that I share the passing of my only beloved son, Joseph, who has left us far too soon. Joseph graduated this year from Fickett Elementary school from the 5th grade he had great potential and determination, he was a shining light, kind, made you laugh and he loved shopping. Joseph had a procedure done at the hospital that caused him to have difficulty breathing and made his heart work extremely hard. Joseph brought love into the lives of everyone he touched, and I am devastated by this great loss. Navigating through this unimaginable grief. Joseph's absence leaves a space in this world that can never be filled. I am reaching out to family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers for support in giving Joseph the dignified farewell he deserves. I was told that the Medical Examiner declined to do Joseph's autopsy; therefore, I am forced to hire a private autopsy to be done to determine the true cause of Joseph's transition.

The cost of funeral and memorial services has added a very unexpected burden, and any contributions—no matter the size—will definitely help us honor Joseph's memory in the way he truly deserves. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with other potential supporters. Your support means everything to me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with me as I prepare to say goodbye to my only beloved son, whom I will love forever. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

I will post services dates soon.
