It might go without saying but I’ll say it anyway. Joe you were one of a kind… I loved our family (and hockey) conversations. And of course you are fifty percent responsible for bringing two fantastic kids into our lives. I loved you while you were with us bud and I’ll miss you until we meet again. PS: You told me on Wednesday that you got Florida while I took the Oilers….. how could I root for Canada? Well in your honor…. let’s go Panthers!!! Love you buddy!
I so appreciate you and Yyvonne. You have no idea
This is not the outcome of our relationship with Joe that we wanted or expected. His upbringing could have had a different outcome and we’re heartbroken it didn’t. Joe’s legacy is Gianna and Jaden and may they have a beautiful future with the memory of their father that they loved and remember all the beauty of him that they can.
Though we were no longer related by marriage, you were always still my brother. Joe, your gentle heart, your humor, and your deep love for Gianna and Jaden will always stay with us. You were the kind of person who brought calm in chaos, laughter in silence, and love without conditions. I’ll forever be grateful for the bond we shared and the memories we made. Rest peacefully — your light lives on in your beautiful children.
Joe you will always be my other son . The Friendship you and Dustin had will forever be with the Brown Family . Hanging at the house all the time , grade school, high school,Best men at wedding! Joe I will miss you dearly, as well as your sisters Casie ,Danni and Courtney ❤️🩹We love you Joe fly high my sweet man 🙏❤️🩹
Rest easy my friend. You will be sadly missed. 💔
There is no doubt of the love Joe had for his children. They were his life and their support. Beyond that was the bond between Joe and his mom, the connection that didn’t need words. She was his safe Haven and his biggest fan on and off the ice. This love never ends, it just changes form. Even when Joe himself grew into fatherhood, there was that kid in him who adored his mom.. the text every night that said “Good night Joe..I love you and good night” will continue in a different way but still on going. He will be missed by many who were touched by who he was.

Deb,
Though I was not fortunate enough to know Joe, I know you. I am sure Joe was like you – very fun, kind, caring, and hard-working. I am sure he was the kind of person everyone looked forward to seeing. I hope knowing that so many people are thinking of you and your family and sending love your way help at least a little. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Joe… you were always my favorite!
Rest in peace…
I can’t begin to tell you, Gianna and Jaden, how sorry I am for your loss. You were his everything and always remember that. Your dad was kind hearted, soft spoken and cared deeply for his family. I know my grandkids, Kenzie, Nico and Mason loved him dearly. Rest in Peace dear Joe.
To those here mourning Joe with sincerity—thank you. These messages will be read by his kids for years, I am sure.
As his ex-wife and the mother of his children, the kids and I have lived inside this grief and chaos far longer than most knew. Not just the final chapter that we’re now all facing—but the unraveling, the confusion, the heartbreak that began long before the end. Decades before. That’s the part most people don’t see.
While on the outside, it seemed cheery and almost picture perfect, addiction in the home is not romantic. It is lonely. It is painful. And it is often invisible to those on the outside, who now mourn loudly, but said little when it mattered most.
Yes, Joe was more than his illness, and he was not innocent in his suffering or entirely to blame for it. He and I had conflict, yes. Real, hard conflict. But he was still the father of my children, and I know how deeply they hoped he’d rise. Time, after time, after time. What they’re grieving now is not just his death—but the decades of what could have been, had he found a way through it.
May you honer Joe with love but not illusion, and to most this goes without saying: be mindful of rewriting stories you never had the courage to be part of.
My kids are learning to face the truth without blame, because blame doesn’t bring peace. Ownership does. And that is the legacy we will carry forward.
Joe, thank you for these amazing kids. They have an incredible tribe, as you know, and they will thrive. I’ve got it from here. Rest now.
We love you Jen, Jaden and Gianna! Stay strong no matter what! God bless! He is watching down on all of you! ❤️🙏🏻
Joe, you will be missed by all! Fly high! 🕊️🤍
Joe,
My heart is heavy and broken to have to be writing on your obituary now. For the last 27 years and forever were you my brother and I hope you know the love I have for you and feel my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for being in my life. RIP.
Uncle Joe,
I’ve had a hard time putting my thoughts into words, but my mom said it perfectly: “I hope you have finally found the peace you spent your life trying to create”.
I never saw you more happy than when you were surrounded by the people you loved, and you were always the one striving to make that happen. I am reminded of your kind heart when I look at the silly t-shirt you had delivered to my apartment when I was a broke college student and couldn’t afford little things like that. I think of how your humor never failed to prevail even when you were in pain, something you and I had in common. I’ve thought a lot about how the last thing you said to me was “I love watching you cousins hang out”, and you can trust that my brothers and I will always be there for Gianna and Jaden; to hang out, to laugh, to cry, to vent, to go on adventures, to keep your memory alive.
Rest easy Uncle Joe, I love you and will forever miss you
To Debb and your family, we are praying 🙏 for you. God is able and willing to give you comforter.
Love ❤️ you Sarah Gray
Dear Friend may you rest in Peace. We had alot of talks when we both worked for Directv, about family. My Heart goes out to Your Family. I will always remember you, thought of you, like you where one of my boys.❤️
Even though I did not know Joe very well, our Italian families knew each other for generations. When Joe saw someone try to take advantage of me in business he had my back, immediately. For this, I will always remember him!
I think of him in the arms of his maternal grandparents and as a guardian angel for his children.
My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you Deb, and your family. I pray peace to you in knowing one day you will be reunited with your son again.
Love and hugs to your family. Such a fun person to hang out with and talk to. Sold us our first car with the awesome speakers. Saw him at a few soccer games as well.,💕💕💕
