Goodbye, My Brother
Goodbye, My Brother
Brother you were an awesome guy,
I don't know why you had to die.
You were so cute as a little boy,
You smiled a lot and brought us joy.
Even though we had our little fights,
Stewing over our silly plights,
I never meant to be a pest,
I always knew you were the best.
Brother, I'm glad those times, were only a few,
It was hard for me to argue with you,
But that's just me, as you are you,
And in the end you always came through.
Now you're gone and our hearts are broken,
There are so many words left unspoken.
What you will never know,
Is how hard it is to let you go.
But it's the happy thoughts that will get us through,
Memories of all the fun we shared with you.
Until the day we meet again,
I hope you know my love will remain.

Joel's Legacy
Joel will be remembered as someone who can make anyone laugh, a great friend, brother, and son. He will leave behind a grieving family and lots and lots of friends who miss him dearly. The Joel that I will forever remember is the one that was so kind-hearted, funny, easygoing with lots of friends. He was a great listener, and always helped any of his friends out in any way that he could. He had that 'spirit' about him that instantly attracted you to his personality and became good friends with. He was a great brother, always watching out for his 3 younger sisters. Joel was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed. Anytime anybody was in need of something, Joel would always be there to help. He didn't care what you looked like, what your problems were, how much money you had...He was a true friend to anyone he befriended. His favorite thing to do was being on the water, in his boat. Either fishing or just taking a quiet ride, he would take off after he closed his mechanic shop, and head for his boat. It was a very relaxing thing for him, although I don't think I could look at the water that way now or maybe ever. In a way, I can see why God needed him, although we desperately need him too. I know he is watching over me now, fussing me for crying and grieving for him, but one day I will see his face again. He is the kind of person that lit up the room when he walked in, he had such a good spirit about him. Sometimes I still feel that spirit with me when I am at my worst, and I think I can't handle it. I know Joel will always be here watching over me.
