Memorial

Mementos

Joseph passed away in San Francisco, CA. He is survived by his children Oliver and Lydia, his mother Jeanne, his father Marshall, his brothers Christopher and Thomas, his nephews Julien, Jakob and Lincoln and niece Willow. Joseph was a proud father of his two children who he loved very much. All who knew him enjoyed his sense of humor and intelligent conversations. His life was too short and he will be greatly missed by all who loved him. There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. - Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I still can't believe you are gone. Every day I wake up and wish it was a nightmare, the news I got when I called San Francisco, but reality sets back in and I realize it is real. There were so many things we were supposed to do. We had so many plans and now they are just thoughts about what it would have been like. We still had so much of our book to be written; it wasn't even close to the first chapter being finished. There are so many things I wish I could have told you, so many things that I wish I could have shown you. I will forever have you in my heart and you will forever be my love. I miss you today as much as I did when I found out I would never get to see you again. RIP until we meet again in the next life! 😘❤️💋👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨⚱️🪦💔
