Joseph Patrick Crist

Joe (JP to many family and friends) was a deeply loved son, brother, grandchild, nephew, cousin, and friend. He was a kind, happy soul who had already fulfilled some important dreams in his short life. Two days after turning 15, Joe decided to apply to be a Denver Parks & Rec lifeguard and his job brought him so much joy. He saved his money to buy his 1st car - an Audi A4 (a 2010 but impressive just the same). He also enjoyed being a part of his school robotics team and playing the guitar. He loved hanging out and spending time with his friends. It was not always easy to be a big brother to triplet siblings, but he loved them and they loved him right back. We were so proud of the man he was becoming. He will be missed more than words can express. Joe is survived by his parents, Joseph Jr. and Kelly Crist; his brother, Ryan his sisters, Caitlin and Madison; grandparents, Joseph Sr. and Margaret Crist of Foxboro. MA, Terrance and Marlene O'Reilly of Denver, CO; his aunts, uncles, and many cousins. You will be forever in our hearts. **We know that many would like to celebrate Joe's life with us but due to the current pandemic, we cannot be all together. During the funeral, our priest will bless over 200 Colorado beeswax prayer taper candles that we will then have available to pick up. They will be available on our porch Tues, May 19th- Sat, May 23rd from 8 am-1 pm each day. We invite you to stop by and take one or a few and send light and love to Joe.
