On September 23rd, Joe Faria (Kelly to some) tragically and unexpectedly lost his 13 year battle with cancer. A loving father and husband, Joe leaves behind his wife Shari and son Mateus.
Joe was the kind of person who would go the extra mile for someone. Thoughtful, kind, empathetic, his legacy lives on through the lives he touched and through his pride and joy, Mateus. We are raising funds to put towards Mateus's future.
I see you on the frontlines trying to stay alive.

I see you on the frontlines trying to stay alive.
Giving it your all just to survive.
You’re in so much pain.
Your mind playing tricks, you think you’re insane.
Marching through the battlefield of your mind,
Thinking of everything you will leave behind.
You’re the strongest soldier of any kind.
I will rise and salute you.
I will do anything you need me to do.
Scarred from feeling abandoned.
Darkness surrounded you while waiting for a sliver of light.
Truth is, you were never alone in this fight.
You were the light.
A light so bright that the sun couldn’t out shine you.
Your heart was so pure and true.
Wear your medal of bravery with pride.
Don’t be ashamed, don’t hide.
I will rise and salute you.
I will do anything you need me to do.
I will rise and salute you.
I will do anything you need me to do.
Heaven is just a stairway away.
A stairway to a better place.
You will arrive with a smile on your face.
No more pain.
No more suffering.
Just happiness from here on out.
Flying through heaven with your golden wings.
Your voice heard while the choir sings.
We all will rise.
We all will salute you.
We all will do what you need us to do.
We all love you.
