Michael Lee published a tribute .

My heart is absolutely broken. Joel was an incredible person who I had the honor of meeting through the OSU College Democrats at Oregon State.

He decided he was going to run for the ASOSU president and asked me to help him with his campaign. I was a broke college student and had nothing to donate, but gave him $20 that I had in my bank account because I fully believed in his ability to be a leader.
We campaigned hard and I learned a lot about Joel. This was after we went to Washington DC and campaigned on behalf of the ASOSU - lobbying for foundational student rights.

Joel wasn't just someone who could have changed the world, he did change the world. This one is a hard one.

I was able to be Joel's pastor for a time and then continued to be blessed to be his friend. I remember connecting with him in a new way when he served as a lobbyist in Salem. Throughout the years we have connected through his family, especially when Terry Sue moved down the hall. I am thankful for the gift of having known Joel, and having experienced his smile, energy and joy of adventure. My prayers are all who are feeling the loss of Joel.
