"Joe, you will forever be in our hearts as the kid who sang his heart out during karaoke and brought his guitar for a one-night stay at MSU for AOP. As an orientation staff member, we were devastated by the news. Every single one of our 50 staff members remembers you- you changed our lives and we will never forget you. Your close family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers, and we are all missing you. Once a spartan, always a spartan. -Your Spartan Family"

"I didn't know your son, but my son briefly went to UDJ and knew Joe, though not very well. My son still keeps in contact with friends from UDJ and told me about Joe's sudden passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's just unimaginable what your pain and grief must be. I will pray for your family and the repose of Joe's soul. His obituary picture in the newspaper just haunts me because he's so young and has such a kind face and sweet smile. I will pray for Joe always."
