He was my loving little brother. always full of energy, and you never knew if he would ever run out of juice! he loved to explore outside and go hiking, and even though he was a little brat at times, that is what little brothers do. i am thankful for all of the good times i had with him and i will remember him always for the ball of energy that he was!

Joseph was always curious, and always wanted to help with anything you were doing. He was a great joy to be around. I miss him very much! May the Lord keep him under His wings!!!

JoJo helped fix breakfast for a Household of many while on a visit. He was able to take instruction, invent as he went, Happy and content as he went. Perhaps not a normal day for him, yet he stepped with the Lord that day.

He was our rock. So full of energy and love. He never gave up. Always helping anyone he could. He touched everyone who met him.
He will be missed and remembered forever.
He will be missed and remembered forever.

There were kites a-flyin'. One such caught Jo's fancy; he SO wanted to fly. To hold the wind in his hands, and make a dance in the sky.
Folks there did not share... Jo sat and wouldn't go. We asked, we pleaded but, no Jo wouldn't leave. He had Sky in his heart that day. We tried to console but were left with God's patience.
Jo came away, that day, with sadness.

Joseph used to help our friend Dean clean the park up where we lived.
When they were done Joseph would hide Dean's tractor keys.
He always gave them back. He just had to mess with his friend.
Hiding the TV remote was always a fun game.
