It is 2:30 in the morning and I can't seem to fall asleep, all I can think of is that in one day it will be one year that my beautiful baby brother left this world. I had to come back to this site and just read once again all the beautiful things people wrote about my amazing brother. As I read through all of this so many different emotions run through me, I cry and say, that was my Joe, I smile, and I just feel so proud to have been able to call him brother. Joel was not only my brother, but my best friend and my brother in Christ. I saw him take his first steps literally. The memories and times spent together are endless. We would tell each other so many things and stay on the phone a couple of hours at a time. I remember our days walking home together skipping class..lol. We would share just about everything with each other. I remember playing house as kids and you were usually the dog..lol. I can go on and on. The pain I feel can not be described and how much I miss you I can't put into words. It's been a year and the pain of not having you here with us, of not hearing your voice, getting random texts saying I love you mi negra, not feeling your warm loving hugs, not having our deep conversations, not joking, etc..etc.. is consuming me every day. You are irreplaceable as someone mentioned here my Joey. I love you so much, I miss you so much, I need you so much. Our family needs you my precious Joe. Life will never be the same without you and just thinking I have to walk in this life for I don't know how many years without your presence is so so hard. What keeps me going is my faith and my hope in reuniting with you one day. I know you are with our Lord Jesus whom you love so much. We will meet again my brother in our eternal home as we always said. You are in peace now with your heavenly Father that you always awaited to meet one day, sooner than we all wanted, but I just know your happy and that gives me some sort of comfort. I just want to thank everyone on here for writing such beautiful things about my brother. Thank you for loving him. I don't know those of you that worked with him, but thank you so much for all your love towards my Joel. Thank you for sharing your stories. May God bless you all. Love you my brother, this is not goodbye, it is see you later......

Its been 5 months since the day you left us and clearly its still something I cant accept because I now find this and feel the need to express the pain I'm still encountering.
Every now and then I catch myself wondering, "What happened and why?" No matter what... It always leads me to a question no one can answer neither for me, nor your wife, nor your family and friends: WHY?
You were one of the only people that could uplift every persons day with just a sound or a laugh.

I continue praying for your entire family and I hope you continue looking down on all of us as we continue to keep your spirit alive with memories that will forever fill our hearts.

Thank you for your friendship, my friend.

You never got me to say this, but I'm doing it just for you: GO SPURS.

XO

So many of us seem not to be able to find the right words to address your family or to offer any type of consolation. It might be due for those words not having been created yet. It is quite hard to find the way to to address your family which has just lost SO MUCH.
All I can say is that I knew Joel RIP, through his brother Jesus and it is that what let me know who this great human being was.  Jesus did not only love his baby brother, he admired him, cared inmensely for him....Jesus adored him, as I am certain everyone in the family did.
I just pray for all of you, beautiful people to be able, in time, to find consolation in our Lord Jesus Christ, who will eventually lead the family into the certainty that your son, brother, brother in law is closer now to his grace than he was ever before.
  Joel RIP is now in his presence but will be forever missed by the ones who will eternally love him.
Let the glory of God be his beautiful home now.

Oh beautiful brother.  I can still hear your voice and see your beautiful smiling face. I am honored to have been your sister in law and sister in Christ. I can't believe I am writing these words. I know you are in Glory with Jesus and enjoying Him. That's what I see when I close my eyes. You enjoying being in the presence of the Lord.  That brings me comfort but my heart still aches to have you near.  Brother, I promise to pray for your family day in and day out. I promise to live life loving and proclaiming Jesus. I know that you would want us all to keep our eyes on the Lord.  I will do that brother. I miss my angry chicken. I miss hugging you and just loving you.  You will live in my heart forever and I will never ever be the same. Things will change but all to the glory of the Lord. I am forever and ever your sister. See you in heaven.  I love you with all my heart

My condolences to your family in this very dark and painful time. You were such a funny and bright person with such a great personality, your departure is heartbreaking. May you Rest In Peace and watch over your wife, parents, family and friends from paradise. We will miss you and never forget your illuminating presence. R.I.P. :,(

I am so heartbroken at the loss of such an amazing man. I keep waiting to hear a funny noise or clicking sounds outside my door or to smell your cologne or see that sweet smile. You are so much more than a co-worker, you were a true friend. You will be deeply missed.  I am so grateful for knowing you.  You will live on in my heart and prayers.   My condolences to your wife and family and friends.  May you rest in peace Sweet Joel.

You always made it a point to say hi, smile, ask me how my day was and simply make me feel welcomed to the firm. I only knew you for a short time, but I'm grateful I had the pleasure to meet you at all. I've heard so many wonderful stories from your A&L family. My deepest condolences to your family for such a tremendous loss. I pray the memories they have of you will help guide them through this difficult time. You will most definitely be missed Joel. May you R.I.P.

I am at a loss for words and still in disbelief. This feels like a horrible nightmare that I cannot wake up from. Words cannot describe how this news has hit me. It seems like it was just yesterday that we where hanging outside of my moms porch talking for hours waiting for Orlando to get there so we could go to Ale House together. 
I've known Joel since I was sixteen and never met a better person, brother, husband, son, grandson, or friend than Joel. He truly is one of a kind. No matter what you had going on in your life Joel always had the ability to cheer you up and make you smile. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to his family. 
I will never forget you Joel.

I have two brothers in this world and I lost one of them on Monday.

My condolences to your family you will be missed by everyone that ever had the pleasure to meet you. We have gained another bright star to look down upon us. RIP brotha we had some great laughs and memories at Akerman and outside of work. Even though we hadn't seen each other in a while you were truly a great friend and we will always hold you close to our hearts.

Joel, my friend my co worker (AKERMAN). I am so sad, heartbroken and in disbelief.  I love you my friend :o(  Heaven has gained another angel.....

My sidekick & my friend.
My heart hurts. I don't understand why this happened. I am still in disbelief. So many laughs, conversations, memories that I have with you. You weren't just my coworker or my right hand at work, you were my friend. You were that friend that I would talk to about so many things, you understood me on my moody days, you never said no and got things done without ever complaining. I am going to miss you so much!!! Thank you for giving me your true friendship, your loyalty and for all the great memories that I will forever cherish in my heart. May God give your wife, parents, brothers and sister the strength they need to guide them through this process. My thoughts and prayers are with them and with your A&L family.
I have no doubt you are in a beautiful place resting in peace. May God Bless you always. Te quiero mucho Joelito!
RIP my friend

A great brother, friend, and co - worker. Words cannot describe the type of person Joel was, he would always make his funny noises and I would tell him I cant hear you so he can make them louder. You will truly be missed, but never forgotten. I need to end it by saying GLLLLLLLLLL, and Go Spurs....
May God bless you my brother...
RIP

Never did you miss a day that you didn't stop at the kitchen door to look at me and say good morning and it made me smile to hear you joke with everyone.  This office feels strange without you and I can't walk by your office without feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness.  You will be deeply missed by so many.  Until we meet again.

I FEEL VERY SAD TO HEAR THIS NEWS OF MY EX CO-WORKER(AKERMAN) AND FRIEND JOELITO, SUCH A YOUNG GUY WITH A GREAT HEART.I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THOSE GOOD TIMES THAT WE SPENT AT WORK AND ALWAYS WITH SMILE ON YOUR FACE...

Conozco a Joel desde nino, siempre tan simpatico y ocurrente, alrededor de el siempre estaba la alegria y la riza.  Se que ahora hay otro Angel con Dios.  Porque Dios te mando a llamar tan presipitadamente solamente lo sabe el.  Por lo tanto te pido que cuides mucho de tu esposa, padres, hermanos y todos tus amigos.  Siempre te vamos a recordar porque tu eres inolvidable.  Que hoy Descanses en Paz nino lindo.  Un ultimo beso para ti. 

Dulce & Carlos Socorro

I have known Joel for ten years.  We worked together at Akerman and then again at Arnstein.  Joel was a beautiful person in and out.  He was always smiling, always joking and in a happy mood.  Never saw him upset.  Joel would come to me in the mornings to say hello and for me to smell his cologne to see if I liked it.  Then he would tell me the name so that I can get a bottle for my sons.  Joel touched my heart with his sweetness and kindness.  He was very special.  He will always be in my heart and in my prayers.  My condolences go out to the Ramos family.  They had a great son.  May you rest in Peace.

Our hearts are broken and saddened.  It is still so surreal.  Joel was special!  Always with a smile and always a gentleman.  I can still hear his voice.  Witty, charming, funny, a jokester.  My heartfelt condolences to his wife and family.  Our workplace will never feel the same.  You will be missed tremendously.  May you rest in everlasting peace.

Day in and day out, I could smell you coming from across the hall and I knew it was going to be a good day. Here comes Joel...I always said. What are you wearing today, papa? Smells awesome. Always looking sharp. I was blessed throughout the best years of my career that God gave us the chance to work together, not once, but twice - for as long as we did. Even though our careers took different paths, you always made sure to let me know, you were still there for me. My heart is so sad, so heavy and my mind in disbelief still. To describe you means: a gift wrapped in a million dollars and inside it, a humble heart of gold. I'll take the heart. You always saved a little Cuban cafecito for me, before it was all gone. Then he'd say, here you go...before the savages take it. So later on don't say I don't care. So funny and thoughtful. Always holding doors open so the ladies could pass through first. A true gentleman. They don't make them like that anymore. Too many memories. I will remember your last text to me recently to see if I was alright as a gesture of our friendship. "You forgot about me already?", it read. I will never forget you, my friend. Just wish I didn't have to remember you this way. My prayers are with your family and all those who loved you. I surely did.

Our deepest sympathy to the Ramos family.  May you find comfort in God's words found at 1 Peter 5:6 7, as you throw all your anxiety upon him because he deeply cares for you and will help you get through this most difficult time.

When I hear footsteps walking behind me down the office halls I expect it to be you and when I hear the office kitchen door barge open I also expect that to be you making your grand entrance, but sadly it's not.  Your energy was always so uplifting.  You will be missedtremendously! Your family will be in my thoughts daily!

As I sit here and try to find the right words to say, I have come to the conclusion there are really no perfect words to describe how truly amazing you were. Its been almost 5 years that we have been working side by side and there is not one time your smile didn't light up a room. My thoughts and prayers go out to your wife and your family whom I know you loved so very much.  May you rest easy my friend. Jessica

Words cannot begin to express what an enormous loss this is. Joel was a great co-worker and friend. He brought nothing but good vibes always, and will forever remain in my thoughts and prayers. May you rest in peace my brother.

I have worked with Joel for over five years. He was the nicest person one would ever want to meet. He will be terribly missed. May God bestow his blessings on his family.   I will miss you Joel. May God keep you in his loving arms.  He is now an Angel of God watching over those he love.  Bye Joel Walk good. God has called you home. He has a job for you to do and I know you will do it well.

Miss You.
Bonnie/Arnsetin & Lehr

I have never lost a friend until now. Joel was way more than just a co-worker. He was my best friend, my brother. No matter what kind of day I was having, he always knew how to make me laugh. My heart is so heavy. I can't imagine how his family must be feeling. I pray for them and his wife. It will be so hard to get used to this. I feel so blessed to have been one of his friends. I will forever hold my best memories with him in my heart. Our office will NEVER be the same without him. He is irreplaceable. Rest in peace my brother
Love, 

Anty<3

May you rest in the hands of God dear friend, I know the court of heaven will be kept amused by your wit, humor and innate desire to make others happy - you will be missed.
