Rest In Heaven!!
Joseph was my first grandchild and has a special place in my heart. I changed my work shift so that I could be there to take care of him as a baby. Joseph never caused me any worry. He grew up to be a special young man. His path took an unexpected turn but he knew he was always loved. He stayed the same sweet, lovable and kind person I always knew. I will miss him dearly but we'll meet again in heaven. Love, Grandma Norann "Momma" Gordon.
My beloved nephew, Joseph, will be forever in my heart. He had a pure sparkle about him with a good heart. This loss will be felt forever as my heart now has a big hole in it. Gone but never ever forgotten. Rest in heaven Joseph. Love and miss you! Aunt Resa "Reese".
I am so sorry to hear of Joseph's passing. We went to school today, was in ROTC and grew up in turnkey together. Joseph was such a funny, nice and intelligent person. I pray for comfort and peace for his family. R.I.P. Joseph 🕊 Danielle McBee C/O 2000

Joseph was loved deeply and will truly be missed. Born at home and in the infamous Turnkey everyone knew and loved him. He was definitely a character and full of personality, the name Mighty Joe Young. He's had two main chapters of life and now he's entering into a third. For anyone that did any small or big gesture for Joseph (food, money, a ride, job, etc.), we truly appreciate it! We, our family, loved Joseph from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. He will truly be missed but he's with his favorite Aunt, Cooda Boot and Grandpa George...both he loved deeply. RIH Joseph until we meet again...no more pain, no more addiction/mental illness, or walking the streets. You can truly rest. We love and will miss you, Love Aunt Rainey, Uncle Chuck & Jamir ❤ 😢 💕

I send my prayers, love and sympathy out to the family. I remember when Joseph use to come and go out to eat and drink together. We always talked to each other about things going on in our lives. We use to laugh, cry and joke about the things we are going through. He was an amazing friend and I love him with all of my heart. You will be missed badly Joseph and there is not a day that goes bye that I want think about you. I love you so RIP Joseph and save a place for me up there.
