Final Expenses for Joe Osborne

Donation protected
Hello Frynds,

My long time frynd Joe Osborne passed on 4/9/18. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and had lived in McKinney, Texas since the late 80’s.

Joe had worked for Showco from the late 60's on and off into the 80's. He worked with several bands during his career, including Three Dog Night, Steppenwolf, Jesus Christ Superstar, Led Zeppelin, Wet Willie, Journey, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, among several others! He was a survivor of the 1977 Skynyrd plane crash that took a major effect on his life. It took him several years to recover and go back to the work he loved so much. In 1987, Skynyrd reached out to him to rebuild their sound equipment, so they could recreate their original sound. He toured with them during the tribute tours and a couple of years later.

His wife, Melissa, passed on 9/14/16.  Her passing was really hard on him. 

We would appreciate your donation to help with his funeral and final expenses. Joe didn't have any insurance.  I need all the help I can get to give Joe the memorial that he deserves! 

My name is John Ramey. I had been friends with Joe and Melissa since 1988 when they moved to McKinney, Texas. I had been to many concerts, car shows, family birthdays, dinners, doctor appointments, etc. with Joe over the years. Joe had me listed as his authorized representative to help with his medical and benefits paperwork. I had been helping both of them with their day to day life since the mid-1990's.   

Thank you for your help!
