Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I remember the first time I met him. My daughter moved to High Point last year and I was in the store getting gas and he said Maam can you bless me with some change. I didn't have cash om me but the next day as I was taking my grandson home I ran into him again at the dollar store and I had some cash on me. I gave him enough to get him some food. He was the sweetest person I had ever met on the street. He was truly an angel. My heart hurts for this family but I know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. It was tragic how he died but God don't make mistakes. He is truly resting in the arms of the almighty. God bless his family.

May God bless and keep you. Look to Jesus for your strength.

I will never forget you Joseph. You were always so polite, so kind to others, so helpful and respectful. You were creative and a hard worker. You, Domonique and Jahze were so close. I'm so thankful to have have known you. Forever in my heart, Ms. James, your elementary school teacher

I didn't know this young man, but I have heard so much about him, I wish I could have met you , I surely would have poured you out a blessing, from the bottom of my heart, May comfort and keep you!

I was so very very sad to here about what happen to this young man. He was always so kind and helpful. I would see him in 5point and he would ask to wash my windshields, clean my tires or help put my bags in the car when I was coming out of the dollar store. If he ask for change he was like 'mom can you bless me with some change always said thank you and bless you. Im really going to miss his smiling face. Family you have my continue prayers.

To the Crawford family. Words are hard to express sometimes. Have comfort in knowing that God (Jehovah) will be there for you and your family. His words tell us in 2 Corthians 1:3 he is the God of tender mercies and God of all comfort. You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy.

Loveee you , helped you out everytime I seen you and you didn't even have to ask you will be missed it don't even feel right going to 5pts R.I.P Your in a better place now

I came in contact with this man once and he was drinking a beer he said ma'am if you could just buy me some food I promise to put this beer down so I said I go over grab you some hot food I looked around he was in the drive thru waiting I jut thought it was just the cutest little thing he said make sure you get me some ranch with that I looked around I couldn't even get mad cause he was dead serious. I pray you are at ease up in that beautiful place with that beautiful smile. My prayers to the family.

I had just talked to him at the family Dollar store..wow..may God give the family comfort .. it's time to change our lives... Jesus is soon to come... God bless your family

I had just seen Boodaboot the day before sitting outside family dollar and he had the most biggest amile on his face. I got out the car and said " whats up boodaboot " he replies back " hey ray ray , yu got a blessing?" Im going to miss yu boodaboot no matter how people treated yu , yu still walked away with a smile not caring what other people think of yu. I wish i couldve helped yu a lot more but anything i seen your face i knew i had to give yu SOMETHING even if it wasnt a lot and even when i didnt have it yu would say " thats okay ray ray , yu look out all the time " and i would use my stamps and get yu something to snack on or something to drink . This is unbelievable still , may your soul rest peacefully ans My condolence to your family and true friends as i was one of them. Much Love Ray Ray

My prayers are with the entire family. He was such a nice young man. I would always see him at Family Dollar at Five Points. Always very mannerable and respectful!! I pray that God will continue to give you strength during this difficult time.

Whenever you saw him he always had a smile on his face even though he asked for a dollar he found God and he was very happy about that no he has his wings so when the dead in Christ rise he shall rise with them he should be caught up in the air and get his crown mrs. Smiling face

My Condolences to each and everyone of my Family members my heart goes out to you all. My prayers are with you all I'm going to miss him so much I still can't believe it. Rest Easy Baby
