    Dennis, Lorraine, Justin & Heather, Jason and Jennifer & Family,

    There aren’t words to describe the depth of our sadness in Joel’s passing. We are honoured to have called him a friend and miss him deeply. He was one person we could always depend on to help brighten our day or help us out. Whenever we reflect on Tanner’s childhood (and beyond), most of those stories involve Joel and end with laughter when describing the shenanigans they got into. I hope you find comfort in the fact that he is so loved by so many and he will be so missed. Sending love, Tanner & Meagan, Gibson & Cooper.

    Joel was my oldest and dearest friend in this world. Losing him is crushing.
    We’ve been together in one way or another for our entire lives – teammates, co-conspirators, brothers, even bitter rivals at times. You couldn’t ask for a truer, more genuine friend.
    Denny and Lorraine – you guys were a second family to me growing up and always will be. Thank you for that. Jason and Justin – I can’t imagine what losing a brother must feel like, especially when it’s way too soon.
    I am here for all of you should you need anything.
    I love him so much, and am so glad he was a huge part of my life.

  88. Steve & Audrey Skinner
