This is Joe.
On February 17th, after an adverse reaction to medication Joe was admitted to hospital. He was semi conscious, and had low blood oxygen. After some complications in A&E joe ended up with severe brain injuries and spent the following month in intensive care. Doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to give him every opportunity they could, but sadly on April 16th, Joe passed away
Joe was everything I could have asked for. He loved Maths in a way that is almost unimaginable. From the age of 12 he would spend hours watching youTube videos on advanced maths, and always got top marks in exams. Even talking about maths got him really animated!
He was so incredibly caring. He worked as a mentor to other younger students with mental health difficulties, and go out of his way to make sure they always knew they could come to him, in school or out, and time and for any reason.
Joe had so many friends and was often either hanging out with them, or online chatting.
He had a whole life ahead of him, and it was going to be an amazing life. He had planned to go to university, but was concerned he might not get good enough marks. While he was in hospital every university he applied to sent him acceptance letters. He would be the first person in our family to go to university.
Joe will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Funerals aren't cheap at the best of times, but for an 18 year old we feel it's important to really go all out for him. His friends want to get a bench at a local monument where they often hung out to watch the sun set.
We're not looking to raise too much money, but anything that can help take the sting out of what is already the most devastatingly painful thing we have ever experienced would make such a huge difference to us. To his friends it would make a lasting way for them to remember the friend they will never get the chance to see again.
