LET’S GET INVOLVED!

“Joe impacted my life in ways you can’t even imagine, and I really couldn’t have asked for a better friend. He showed me how life is supposed to be lived: with love, respect, laughter, and so much more. He never said one bad thing about anyone else, and somehow, even as incredible as he was, he always remained so humble. That’s what made him the best of all of us. He had the purest heart and brought nothing but joy into everyone’s lives without knowing it. I can’t thank him enough for inspiring me to be more like the genuine man that he was.”

“Joe was one of the nicest, smartest, happiest guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not once did I ever hear Joe complain or say anything negative at all. He always had a smile on his face and his enthusiasm will never be forgotten. Joe always had our backs and would never hesitate to help somebody out if they needed it. Everyone I know was a huge fan of Joe’s.”

“To my best friend Joe. You were the most compassionate and selfless man that I have ever known. Your patience, kindness, and positivity impacted everyone you knew. It’s cruel and unfair that your life had to end so early. You had such an amazing life ahead of you. It breaks my heart to know you are gone, but I know you are in a better place now. God has a plan for all of us and I know in my heart that he has welcomed you with open arms for you loved him dearly. You leave behind so many friends and family that cared for you so dearly, and you are in all our thoughts and prayers. I cannot describe how much I’m going to miss you, Jamal. You were such an amazing friend to all of us and the world will truly not be the same without you. I know you’re looking down on us.”

“Joe was relentlessly happy and there’s nothing anyone could do to change that. I can say with absolute certainty that Joe is the best person I have ever known and anyone that knew him would agree. Joe’s favorite thing to say (usually as he arrived with a case of beer) was “let’s get involved!” and he did. I hope that Joe’s life can inspire you to get involved in your own. Get involved in the things you want to accomplish. In the things you believe in. Get involved in the lives of the people you love.”
