Remember you every day.  Love you 
always.  Bobbi and Web

My family and I send our condolences to the Joseph family, extended family and friends.   We are truly saddened by Champ’s passing. 

I remember I was nervous to meet Champ. After all, here’s this little kid who’s named after one of the greatest, fearless leaders of the world.  

Champ gave me my first trial at motherhood - I’d like to think he gave me an A+. We battled in Mario Kart,  jammed out to Michael Jackson and would have “breaking news” after- school interviews about the latest happenings. I remember one afternoon when his Dad and I picked him up from kindergarten.  We walked into his classroom, and Champ looked up and gave us the biggest grin. Then he bolted to us with his arms stretched out and reached for a hug. Well, I wasn’t expecting the hug to be for me, but it was.  

Champ, I didn’t know you as a young man, but to know you as a young child is to know that you were as great a young man as you were a child;  loving, caring, respectful and with a heart of gold. Thank you for giving me a head-start at parenting. 

You will always be remembered. Rest well. 

Sincerely, 
Tiffany Henry and Family

Love Coach Carter-

Upon hearing this news I was truly heartbroken. I refused to believe it was true. I met Ali in my 9th grade biology class where he made every day enjoyable and full of laughter. He was so strong and confident, and had a way of drawing people in without even saying a word, I’m glad to say that I was one of those people. Upon knowing him for only two months he had already given me two of his old phones out of the kindness of his heart, one of which I still have to this day, and I will cherish it forever. Ali, the world already seems a little less bright without you in it. You will be in my heart until the end of time. May you rest in peace my friend.

Ali,
Once in a while someone comes along.
Someone who just naturally makes everyone feel a little happier.
You've been that someone to me since the first day I drove you home from  Pride school with Haleemah.
That sunshine face  and a smile you touched my life!
Was a joy getting to know you . and drive you.
You will be in my Heart forever until the end of time.



Davin and family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. Champ was loved by many and he brought joy to many hearts. Blessings and peace.

Hey was the best brother I could have ever asked for I will love him until time stops but my favorite memories with him include the times where we would play the card game Yu-Gi-Oh together at our dad’s house I would lose most of the time but I took the wins I had to heart and I love the smile on his face when he would completely demolish me in games -Elie Joseph ll

On behalf of Wharton High PTSA, we offer our deepest condolences to the family of Ali and pray for peace and comfort during this very difficult time.  May the beautiful memory of Ali be a blessing to you all.

Ali was a great friend for me all throughout middle school and high school there wasn't ever a dull moment with him. It always amazing being around him the energy he had was great and I felt as it was us against the world sometimes. He really helped me my freshman and sophomore year being one of the few people i could truly connect with when there wasn't anyone there for me. Kowing that he's lost really hurts as i have supported everything he does from his YouTube channel and twitch streams he would do it was definitely a blessing knowing him and being able to call him my friend and i won't ever forget him he was truly amazing i hope he rest well for many people care about him i can still remember the last promise he gave me before i ever got to see him was to get a ride in his tesla maybe one day i'll get that ride in another life. Thank you, Ali, for the great memories, conversations, laughs, and time spent with me and many others i appreciate it rest well my good friend.

Ali was like no one I’ve ever met before. What the other people are saying about him being uncaring about other’s opinions of him is true. It’s the reason I originally became his friend. It was refreshing to find someone like that. We really became friends when he joined the wrestling team with me. Even though we both sucked initially, he never missed a practice and always gave it his best. I’ll always remember the day we spent riding our bikes around his neighborhood talking about the future. My heart is truly broken hearing of his passing. I’ll always remember all that he did for me and all the laughter we shared. 

I didn’t know Ali that long but I can when we became partners in tv production he was funny he used to always call me ghetto or say “destiny what’s up with your clothes” he was a cool chill person.. seeing him everyday in 3 period was fun he would try to be in control of our group nd make sure we all was doin out part in the morning show🥰 hearing this today broke me🥺 now I have to walk in 3rd period knowin Ali is not finna say something to me is crazy🥺💔 may u Rest In Peace🥺🕊

Ali was such a kind hearted guy. I am truly devastated by his passing. He never cared about what anyone thought of him, he would always come to school in this one anime hoodie sophomore year and no matter what comments people made, he would still wear it all the time. I loved how he never let anyone get to him.  He touched so many people, and I know that his legacy will live on. So sorry to hear about your loss. 

It was a joy knowing Ali and watching him grow into an amazing young man. I remember going to the Bucs game with him and his grandmother and having an amazing time watching the game, eating food with him and playing on our PSP’s (yes it was that long ago). I’ll always miss walking home from the bus stop with him or driving him home from the bus stop. He was hilarious and always made sure to get the front seat! It was always a pleasure to see him in school or to see him walking the dog around the block, every time I would wave or say hello he would give me a huge smile, which is a smile I will never forget. He was a very intelligent and mature person who touched the lives of so many and I feel blessed to have known him. May he rest in Paradise. We Love you Ali, you are such a wonderful person and deserve eternal happiness.

 
I knew Ali since 8th grade Benito year until Wharton high school years.I remember when we would sit in class and make jokes at each other and how I found out his dad was in the NFL.He was so humble and outstanding when it came to getting his work done, helped me understand my science in a whole different way.I could never forget a angel like him.It’s not a goodbye for me it’s a see you later.

I’ve known him since kindergarten. I remember him and his dad would come to events at Pride all the time. We weren’t very close but I know he’s so smart and kind. Hope the family is doing well. I am so sorry. 

My prayers and condolences go out to Ali’s family.  I am truly saddened to hear of your passing my friend.  I may not have known you for years, or even a lifetime. But you get to know someone a lot when you spend hours a day sharing a wrestling mat with them.  You were better than me on the mat and taught me so much in the realm of wrestling. I wish I had the chance to get to know you better outside of the mat room.  Until next time my brother, rest easy. 

I remember after every 4 period i'd go to homeroom and see him and we would talk about how each other day is and we would always make silly jokes about each other and then when we go to lunch we would talk to each other and trade snacks and after we would switch bags and id walk him to class and switch right back and we would talk about so many things a joke around a lot and be fun! i miss you ali all of your friends miss you sad to see you go so soon i'll always remember the fun times we had and enjoyed with our friends and stuff you made me really happy as you did for everyone else i wish you were here still and we all love and miss you dearly

Ali i am honestly shocked by this terrible news I did not think this day would come so soon. You were a great friend and meant a lot to me. I remember the first time we met I thought that you were an amazing dude and I was looking to see you develop more and more, this is such a sad moment and I am heart broken by this may your soul Rest In Peace. 

I remember meeting Ali in Benito Middle School in 6th period science class, we sat next to each other and me and him instantly clicked. Ali and I would always crack jokes and laugh at anything, even a simple fart joke would make me and him laugh. Me and Ali grew to became the closest of friends to a point where I would consider him my brother. Me and Ali went through all of Benito together and when we started High School we told each other we has gonna graduate the same way we graduated Benito...and that was together. I would see Ali everyday after 8th period and from time to times he would drive up to me in his car and just tell me that he'll see me tomorrow. The last time I saw Ali was last Tuesday after eighth, gave him a handshake, and a hug. Little did I know that'll be the last time I see him. I found out about his death today and it shattered me. I consider this man as a brother and I love this man.

Ali and I  met when I was dog sitting for a friend. We would take our dogs for walks and had great conversations. He was a very special person who always had a sweet smile on his face. I will miss our walks and our conversations.    I will always hold a special place in my heart. May your memory be eternal 

While we are still processing this great loss, we are so grateful for the wonderful memories Ali leaves behind he has been friends with my son since middle school, They participated in wrestling together in high school.   They have also been playing  games online together for years.  Our fondest moment was of Ali introducing our son to the “boil spot” Korean restaurant. My son came home so excited to share that unique experience.  It is now his favorite place and we have take many family and friends.  During tough times reflect on the joyful times to get through. We are lifting the Joseph’s family in our prayers and know you will see Ali again 🙏

There is no one moment that I can point to in my recollections of Ali. What I remember is Ali being a close, wonderful friend.  We became friends about 4 years ago and walked our dogs together several times a week.  He shared many things with me, his wisdom (which was considerable for a person of any age), his humor, his shining smile, his curiosity and wonder at the world, his journey toward adulthood, and yes, his love of computers.  Ali was a 14 year old boy and I was 72 year old woman when our friendship began.  We were comfortable together in silence but always had endless things to say to one another. He was, is and will always be a shining light in my live.  Ali, I loved and will always love you my friend.   Bobbi

We are so very sorry to learn of Ali's passing. Ali and my son Vance played little league together and, although a year apart in school, they maintained their friendship over the years at both Benito and Wharton. Sending our prayers and deepest sympathies to Ali's family and friends.



Champ was such a smart young man.  I remember playing video games with him when he was maybe 6 or 7 years old.   He had great critical thinking and problem solving skills and was so smart at such a young age.  He had a wonderful life and was loved.  Condolences to Davin and the family.  May your memories with Champ bring you comfort today and in the days ahead.   May Champ rest in eternal peace.  Sharlyn Kennon  ❤️🙏
