Valerie, Just know blood means nothing w our family. I know in my heart and from Joeys own mouth you were his sistet blood or not. When I went thru the hardest times if my life which included my parents divorce Joey helped me understand a lot. I had so much angerfor years he always would say fuck them all you are my family and so is aunt nancy. It helped to have his support as well as other family members. My point is when I found out the truth abt someone that respected and adored Joey helped me get thru it anf didnt care that I wasnt blood. You are my baby cousin and nothinh will ever change that either. I know anger gets to us sometimes but just know frm me and im sure we everyone else we love u like u are blood, nothing will ever change that nor break our bond. We all have so many memories of growing up I havent even be able to go to mommys to get out the pictures of us all growing up. I cant accept nor believe this has happened to Joey. All I know id life is too short and precious and we are not promised tomorrow. I love you and all of my family and I never was blood but you guys are my world just know that. It is horrible that this had to happen for me to see some fights arent worth it. All im saying is im here if you nd anything ever call me you are always n

Typically, I have a way with words, but it is difficult to find the right ones when one has a hard time believing in what you are writing about. You were my daughter's first friend when we moved back to New Jersey. I remember being pissed at you cuz you kept throwing rocks at her window to wake her up to talk to you out the window. You used to annoy the sh*t outta me, but I loved ya and I'm sure you knew that....lol You ALWAYS lent us a helping hand whenever we needed it. We didn't even have to ask. I remember you taking a walk with me when I first got out of the hospital, and I'm sorry I never went to see your "dragons". Ps. You were "allsome" :-) I will miss you.
Vickie Gribble left a message on November 15, 2013:
Hey Joe... Two of my fondest memories of you are bad and good... You were young we were all stuck at your Grandmas house... it had snowed and then turned to ice,,,, Ur Aunt Loretta wanted ur Mom and. I To feed her ducks and brake the ice so they could swim... well we did and couldn't get back up the hill to the house cause of the ice... after you stopped laughing you put out your hand as if u were big enough to help.... I think we grabbed it and pulled u down... the other one is when I caught you pulling Blue by his collar towards the underground fence... I think ur Grandma whooped that a**... I love u lil cuz... I guess your meant to be where you are... you will be missed I'm sure by many... ....R.I.P....

Shanel Vergara left a message on November 18, 2013:
When I first moved into Lakeview an hour later there he was knocking on my door with a teddy bear welcoming me to the neighbood. From that day forward he was one of the best friends I had ever had the pleasure of having. He became more than that. He became a brother of 11 years. Never once did he let me down or let there be a frown on my face. Words cannot describe the sadness I feel inside. I only wish I have hugged him just one last time. Joey you will be a big part of my life that is missing. I pray you rest easy. Make those angels laugh as you once made me. I will always love you. P.s. I found your bear and I put him up safe where he can't get hurt. Love you, Shanel
Valerie Elliott left a message on November 16, 2013:
Dear big brother still cant believe you are gone. We havent talked in a couple yrs since u moved to Florida. Just don't understand why u choose to take your life. You have always been there for me and my sister's. We had some fun times and some bad times but we always got throw it. I remember the day u was walking down the street with darlyn and you said hey sexy and then realized it was your sister or the time you and bobby beat up my ex because he cheated on me. You was always there for me and I was greatful for that. Even though we arent blood brother and sister you mike and bryan will always be my brothers in my heart. I love and miss you.

Joey this breaks my heart I feel so sad inside.. you were such a loving and genuine person.. I remember when I met you we clicked and became best friends.. I remember the time you got punished and we would throw notes back and forth to one another out your window lol the good old days.. you introduced me to your family and since that day I became a part of it.. you were the brother I always wanted but never had.. you could always put a smile on my face when I needed it and I love you for that.. I remember our long talks your great hugs and the unconitional love you always gave me.. Ill never forget the days me you n mike spent being mall bums or just all the things we did together.. I dont understand why you felt it was your time to go alot of people are very sad.. I wish you could see the impact you had one alot of people and the joy you brought to our hearts you were so special to me.. now im crying because a piece of my heart was taken.. a childhood best friend.. may you rest in peace and watch over me with my dad.. grandma and charles.. youll always be with me I love you brother rip gone but never forgotton

JOEY! I never thought in a million years that you wouldn't be around to bug me one day! We grew up so close...like a real family! We always used to laugh about how it would rain when we were together! We did so much together for years! Im so glad that I have a million memories that I can always keep close to my heart! I love you but I know you are safe where you are and that you are probably looking down and laughing at all of us...just because you're a smartass! You will always be loved and remembered by all of your friends and family...and forever missed! Give pop pop a kiss for me! I LOVE YOU JOEY! NIKKI

ashley left a message on November 17, 2013:
Joey... my heart breaks knowing you took your life. I've been there, I survived and I wish you did too. Maybe now you are at peace and looking down on all the love you have. What your family and friends are going through right now is going to leave them with questions and unsettlement probably for the rest of their lives. What you did was your answer, your way out, right or wrong. I'm in so much shock to hear what had happened. You and your family were a big part of my childhood. I am so sorry and at a loss of words, may everyone try to find some peace with your death. Ill be seeing you..
Brandi Amador left a message on November 24, 2013:

Death leaves a heartache no one can ever heal, love leaves memories no on can steal. Joey, your death was so unexpected and none of us will ever understand why you chose that door. We will, however, need you to open it for us as we come to pass to see you and the rest of our family that has passed Our memories good and bad are memories that I will cherish with all of my heart. Forever love, Aunt Kelly

Ed Amador left a message on November 16, 2013:
Death is a sad and tragic affair, even when it is a long anticipated one. But no death is as hard on the living as the unexpected death of a loved one. Death does not come with a warning,with time to say the sad farewells, sometimes it comes unannounced with no time for even a brief goodbye or one last "I LOVE YOU" These are the saddest of times when death takes one so dear to us without any warning,unexpected and in our grief, we bid our farewell and may all of our sweet memories of you,give us comfort. We love and miss you,Take care of grand pop when you see him again. Love Always Uncle Ed
Amy Benson left a message on November 16, 2013:
Joey, I still cant believe this dont know why.. You and I have been close since I came into our family. Even at my weakest times when I was angry or even sad you knew what to say to make me laugh, even if it was with saying the craziest funny things. I have so many memories of us frm being in circles at mommoms til recently and im trying to smile but im drowning in my own tears. Joey please help me find peace with this with God I am beginning to become angry about this of why youre gone. Just know I love u with all my heart cuz and I will miss u.. make sure you meet me at them gates and take care of poppop. Help our family get thru this lord knows were going to need the strength.

This just doesn't seem real yet.... Met you when I was 13. Best bf I ever had, u were my first love. You promised me you'd always be there. The past 13 years I could just pull up in lakeview and someone would yell Joey! Katie's here! Now what? You were my rock. Guaranteed to me. This just doesn't make sense. I love and will miss you more than you know!
shell left a message on November 15, 2013:
