Hi Joe, it’s been a very long time since you left us, but it doesn’t seem that long cause you are forever in our hearts and we will never ever forget you. As far as I know your Mom and Jeremy are getting along good. Jeremy has moved back to Newport News to be closer to the twins and your mom. I am planning a trip this fall to go see all there- can’t wait. Well, grandson, I will try to write as soon as I can. Love you and miss you so much. Grandma

August 2, 2022

Dear Joe, it’s been way too long since I wrote you and I’m sorry . I’ll try to write more often. Things down here are much worse than when you were here-crime, prices of food, gas and all are so high. Your mom, Jeremy, the girls and all the people you loved as far as I know are doing ok. Just remember that you will never be forgotten-I love ❤️ you so much. Grandma

Happy Birthday Joe! You should be here, but God had bigger plans for you. One day I’ll find out what, but until then, just know how much I love and miss you!

November 3, 2021

Joe, “you make my day” those 4 words we would utter to each other each and every day, what seemed like yesterday, but in reality were over 10 years ago wow how time won’t stop for anyone. Anyhow I listened to your boy Tebow today give a speech regarding significance and I found myself thinking about you which I do from time to time and sure enough I found this. I just want you to know there’s not a tournament I don’t play in that I don’t think about you in some capacity. I’m grateful for getting the opportunity to know you for those few short years and whenever I hear this song I truly do stop and just think about you.
When I got the news today
I didn't know what to say
So I just hung up the phone
I took a walk to clear my head
This is where the walking lead
Can't believe you're really gone
Don't feel like going home
So I'm gonna sit right here
On the edge of this pier
Then watch the sunset disappear
And drink a beer. LB

February 16, 2020

Hi Joe,I am so sorry I haven’t sent you a message until now. I am very sad today. I guess because Valentines Day came and went without any thing from my kids. I feel so sad because this looks like they don’t care about me anymore. I am getting pretty old now so I may be seeing you soon. I love you so very much and I think of you every day. I am sure God is taking good care of you. RIP my sweet grandson. Grandma

December 1, 2018

Dear Joe, It is almost Christmas & I am in need of talking to you. I have another grandson that needs a little discipline. Sometimes I look at him & wish you were here to talk to him. I got some CD's by Garth Brooks & I love to hear him sing "The Dance" that was played at your service. Every time I hear it, I cry because I miss you so. Of all the loved ones I have lost, you seem to be the most important one. Your Mom is doing O.K., I guess. Hope to see her around Christmas. Jeremy, I don't hear from at all. Katy Jo & Regan Lynn, I hope to see soon. Anyway, RIP, & I will see you when God wants me. All My Love Grandma

July 2, 2018

Hi Joe, well it will be your Birthday again. If, only you were here to celebrate it. I always remember it when it comes July. All is well as far as I know with your Mom. She lost her job, but looking for another. I'm getting older & feeling it. I'm sure I will be seeing you when God is ready for me. Well, I love you & miss you. Will always think of you on your Birthday. Grandma

March 4, 2018

Hey buddy,
Sure has been awhile since I've been on here. Grandma mentioned it to me and I thought I would come on and write you a note.
Your nieces are getting big and I tell them about you and show your picture to them. They are still a little young to understand, but they will know who you are as they get older. I wish you were here to see them. They would really love you, and you them. I hate your missing out on so much that is going on. So many lives would be different. But, they are forever changed. As time goes by, it gets a little easier, but it is still so very hard at times. You are so missed and so loved. You, my son, will never, ever be forgotten by anyone who's life you touched. You are forever in my heart, my mind and my soul. Sending many hugs, kisses and much love. Forever and always, Mom

Joe, I am having a really hard time lately. Not sure what to do about it. I pray so badly that I will wake up out of this nightmare and you will be where your supposed to be.

April 12, 2011

Joe, I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I love you soooo very much! I miss you more and more everyday! Words can not express how much. My heart aches. I am so very proud of you and your brother. I couldn't ask for two better sons. I love you!

March 1, 2011

There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't think about you. You ARE an amazing person and WOW, how proud I am of you. You set out to accomplish something and you did it! I wish I was half the person you are. I love you and you will forever be in my heart!

March 1, 2011

Ya know Joe, I never thought in my entire life I would be writing to you, or reading other posts to you. I really thought that you and I would be b/sing about racing and football for a very long time. Now, that is over. I miss my Sunday texts and talks. I miss my big bear hug and kiss on the forehead. I miss your smile, your laugh. I just miss you.

February 25, 2011

Most of our best memories were with you. When we were suppose to go and have a good time, then didnt, we would soon realize it was because you were not there. Its a HARD pill to swallow. You were nothing more than a gentleman to my family and I. We will never forget you. We will never let our boys grow up and not know who you were or how much you meant to us! They knew and always will!

February 25, 2011

Hey kiddo! I miss you more than words can say! Thats why I never say much, cause its never enough!! You left a stamp on our hearts that will never go away!! OMG I cant believe your gone, its not fair, it still dont seem real, Brandon and I dont even talk much about you, and that is hard to admit. But it is sooooooooooooooooooooo hard. Its hard to even think of, let alone discuss. You are so missed

February 16, 2011

O yea...one more thing. AS you know today is our brother Shane's birthday. Please be with him Joe. He needs you more than anything in this world right now. Send him that sign he so desperatly needs for his birthday. Give him peace. Love you sir.

February 16, 2011

Joe,
Your vigil was amazingly beautiful. Yes, it was cold but some how I stayed warm. I think it was your loving hover that kept me warm. The only thing was that the vigil made everything so very real. Like your mom said, she almost could not come cause of that. Little did I know @ the time she said that, that was going to hold so true for me. I cant believe your gone. I love you always and 4ever

February 16, 2011

To my beloved angel. I think I am beginning to understand now and I am finding peace with this. It does not mean I will quit crying or not be sad anymore. It just means I understand, doesnt mean I have to like it. Rest peacefully Joe, we will all be ok. I love you so very very much and miss you just the same!

February 15, 2011

February 14, 2011

Hi Joe, I will always love you & even though we didn't see alot of each other, you was always loved. I know you loved the vitual we had for you Sat.& you were looking down on us. I put a wreath at the scene. I hope you liked it. My heart reaches out to you & I feel you around me.I will be with you soon- that is when God calls me. We'll make up for lost time in Heaven, I hope. I love you. Grandma

January 12, 2011

Joe, I dread the 12th of every month. It doesnt matter if its been 1 month, 5 months, or 5 years, they will all feel the same. I will forever have a piece of me missing. And I am not alone with these feelings. We will be together again some day, but until then, do NOT ever forget how much I LOVE YOU!!

January 12, 2011

Hi Joe,I cannot bring myself to accept the fact that you have been gone for 5 months today.When I look at your picture, tears come & I say, why? I believe in God & his decisions, this is one that is hard to accept.I have always loved you,even though I didn't show it as much as I should have.Please forgive me.I feel you around me & maybe that's a good sign that you do forgive me.I love you.Grandma

December 30, 2010

Joe,

Today I find myself thinking about this whole thing, more than usual. Don't get me wrong, I think about it everyday, but today is differnt. Not sure why. Today is just harder than usual. God, please keep him safe. Let him know how loved he is, how missed he is. Joe, I love you more than you can ever imagine.

December 12, 2010

December 6, 2010

Hi Joe, I know you see me crying from time to time & you know I feel you around me. I just wish I had been a closer Grandma to you. Maybe that is my guilt for hurting so bad. If I could have a wish come true, it would be to see you & ask for your forgiveness. I love you so much & I wish I had told you over & over again. Joe, watch over your Mom. She will always be in pain for losing you. RIP

August 29, 2010

I was fortunate enough have met you one time and what an impact you had. God has you in the palms of His hands. We will miss you so much.

August 17, 2010

Joe, I will forever miss you.I really was looking forward to watch you play golf with the pros & bragging to everyone that you was my Grandson.I love you.RIP!!!

August 17, 2010

God Bless you and keep you, for you are Forever in his Presense!

August 16, 2010

Joe,
I know I am not supposed to question, but the only thing I can think of is God needed another player on his team. He couldnt with that golf game without you. I love and miss you so much. Mom

August 16, 2010

Joe, you were such a great guy! You always made everyone laugh and I never saw you in a bad mood! Thank you for being such a great person! You will be missed by many.

Q98's Bob Lacey & Joe Comparison

April 7, 2011

So ok,

I was riding into work this morning and I of course was listening to Q98 and Bob came on and was telling the story about how he was taking his wife to Vermont to show her the Timeline of Bob and his life story. I could not help but think about that night that you and I just went riding around and we ended up in Hope Mills and you took me all over that place telling me in chronological order where you lived, went to school, feel down, got in fights,etc. I didnt know then that riding all over the country with you then and being tired the next day cause we got in so late was gonna mean the world to me in just a few short years. I am glad I have the memory to carry in my heart and soul for the rest of my life. I feel so lucky to of known you and been allowed the wonderful privliage of being able to call you brother. I miss you Joe everyday, every minute...it all hurts the same no matter what. Take care. See you one day...Love you

To long to post on tribute page

December 30, 2010

Joe, You have so many sights that I can't stop by all of them everyday. But, I also don't want you to think I have forgotten, that WILL NEVER happen. Yesterday I was looking at some of the pictures that Desiree sent me. One in particular really had me thinking. You looked so sad. Makes me wonder what was going through your mind at that time. I just sat there staring at you, wanting to wrap my arms around you and hold you. I want to tell you it will be ok. But, I can't. I want you back so badly. You are loved by so many people. This should not have happened to you. Why not the person driving down the road before you, or after you. I have so many questions for God, but he wont answer me. If he would just tell me why, maybe I would understand. But, I guess until then, I wont. I want you to know, that I am so very proud of you. In all you accomplished in your short life. I can just image what you would have done, had this not happen. You are so bright, funny, talented and so full of life. Not to mention a great looking man. Oh how I love you. You are forever in my mind, heart and soul. We will see each other again soon. I love you buddy!!
