As many of you have heard, Joseph Hooper recently suffered from a massive stroke, numerous minor strokes and a brain aneurysm, putting him in the hospital where he would spend the last week of his life telling those around him how much he loved them, joking with the nurses, and smiling as big as ever.
Joe lived with my grandparents for the last 40 years, bringing a tremendous amount of joy to his family and the surrounding towns.
On 07/28/2021, we had to wish our sweetest Joe a safe flight home as he entered the arms of the Lord. He passed peacefully and comfortably and is surely enjoying his reunion with the loved ones he’s lost.
Anyone who knows Joe knows just how much he loved life and everyone around him; we would like to hold a wake, have him buried, host a celebration of life party, and bronze his bike in hopes of creating a display in his honor somewhere in town.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated as we navigate this unexpected loss and give him the celebration he deserves as our very last gift to him.
