My heart is absolutely shattered. I can’t even begin to comprehend a world where I’ll never get to speak with you again. Joe, you were truly one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Your charisma, kindness, and incredible ability to connect with people were nothing short of a superpower. You had a way of making everyone around you feel seen, valued, and loved. I hope you’ve been reunited with your dad in heaven, and I hope you’ve had the chance to meet mine, too. I know he would have loved you just as much as I did. Thank you for being a shoulder to lean on, for always cheering me on, and for believing in me. I’ll forever be grateful that our networking communities brought us into each other’s lives. What started as a professional connection became a friendship I will always treasure. I love you so much, Joe. I’ll forever be one of your biggest fans, and I’ll carry your kindness and spirit with me always. Rest peacefully, sweet angel. Heaven gained someone truly special. 🪽🫶🏻
