Joel was a wonder person always bright.. I have many memories of him between middle school and highschool I will miss him
I’m very sorry for your loss! Joel was such a kind, polite, and respectful young man. I met him through my grandson, Nolan. He came to my home several times and was always smiling! I also saw him often at Ingle’s as he was working. May God comfort you and give you strength! Joel’s family and friends are in my prayers!
This will always be the sweetest young man my children and I ever met. I consider him and his entire family our family. We will miss you so much sweet boy.
My prayers go out to Joel’s family during this time. Joel was always an absolute joy to work with. He will be missed dearly…
I went to school with Joel. He was such a great guy. He was really smart, fun to cut up with, and he would always motivate me. This truly breaks my heart, and I am keeping the family in my prayers. Joel will forever be missed, but never forgotten. You accomplished a lot in such little time, and you are one of the few genuine people I have ever met. Thank you for the memories, and words of inspiration you’ve told me in the past years. I wish we could’ve stayed closer. I will always miss you.
Joel, my mind still can’t comprehend that your gone. After I just talked to you the other week I honestly don’t know or have the words to say at the moment. So all I can say is I love you joel.
I met Joel while working at Ingles. He was the kindest, sweetest, most helpful kid that I have ever met. If he saw that we were busy and that I needed help, I never had to ask, he would just come over and help me. My son Cody also worked there at the time along with alot of others and knowing how close all the kids were, my heart breaks for them. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I can not imagine the loss that they feel. I will never forget that amazing smile!!! It was contagious! He was truley a one of a kind young man and a great friend to everyone he met. I hope his family will find some comfort in knowing that none of us will ever forget Joel. You meet alot of people in this world but some have a certain something that you can’t explain…you just know they are special…Joel was one of those people and we were all blessed to know him.
So sorry for your loss. Joel was a sweet young man. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you peace and comfort in your time of grieving.
My heart is broken for your family. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I knew joel in BETA club in middle school and we both went to D.C on a school trip. Joel was a charismatic and intelligent young man. For him to go so soon must be devastating to his family and friends, all I can say is that I hope all his friends and family stay strong through such a terrible time. Hold your loved ones close today, you never know what might happen tomorrow.
