He was a person to have fun with, to make all your worries go away. He loved slipknot, he loved making tattoo's. Under all his piercings he is the boy to some but man to others, That loves every single person. For he is in everybody's heart's. ~How Joseph Kelley life went~ He started life out rough it wasn't his fault that he was 1 of the 70,000 people worldwide that get Cystic Fibrosis. He was with his family at least till he was 7 years old but after that he was in foster care until he was 18 years old. Even though he was in foster care he still had the right to see his family members. As he probably felt not so alone for that reason. When you see him you didn't expect that he was ill, for most of his life he was a boy that was energenic, active, and doing everything new. He went to many schools but he still made friends easily. He loved playing baseball, he loved doing JROTC it was his favorite thing he enjoyed about life learning and finding new things about how to serve a mans country. For he tried to get into the Marines. He even did the basic training camp but they found out the disease he had they would not let him in they had to let him go. He was a great artist, he designed many things for tattoos and label designs. As well he got into piercings. After foster care he tried to make his life the party. To make sure that he at least had a good time for the years he had left. He knew he was going to go soon but didn't want everybody to get upset so he didn't tell how serious it was. In the last year in a half he was in and out of many hospitals. For he was doing worse. As he passed away everbody felt like he should have had a longer life but they all knew he was no longer fighting pain. So as we say are goodbyes and are prayers we know when we all go to heaven he will be there waiting at the door to see your smile again. In honor of the loved and caring person we say goodbye for now and will see soon we love you Joseph Emmanuel Kelley, died at 20 years old. Arrangements by Edwards Memorial Center 253-566-1008
