Such a short time on this earth and how just the thought of the simple conversation, an incredible smile and a red jeep can still light light up a room thinking 20 yrs back. So sorry for his time cut short on earth. Even though all the time has passed I will always remember him as the sweet and cute guy in the red jeep who was so proud to have graduated from IRHS. Some people you always wonder about as they leave such a lasting impression. As I always wondered what if with him. My sincere condolences to all his friends and family he left behind.

Kelly and family-I am sorry for your loss as I know too well God only takes the good ones from us! I pray your family can find peace and comfort in the strong family support surrounding you. These next few days, weeks months will be a blur and numb. There is no pain like the pain of sorrow but there will come a day that you'll be able to smile with the tears in remembrance of everything Joel is. The best advice someone gave me was to always talk about your loved one in the present, never in the past - Crystal
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
