We are so sad to hear about Joe’s death. Although we only knew him as a boy, Joe was such a good friend to Rick when he really needed one. Even as a boy, he had a quick wit, and loved to laugh and have fun. Please know that we’re praying for comfort for your family.

lol ONE MEMORY OHH NO! I have millions! My first one is when he took off running from me SCREAMING 😆 in football practice when we were playing bull in the ring. Many many trips to Trevor’s together! I grew up with Joe ! He was funny, charismatic, laid back for sure! This breaks my heart! If I could I’d roll time back and reach out and talk to him atleast one more fun, many twisted and turned conversation! Joe Shay was nice, funny, caring, HALARIOUS, Smart, and most of all he was a reliable friend! Rest easy my friend! I hope you’re at peace and happy wherever you are! Watch over us while we are stuck here on earth, lead us, watch over us, and most of all meet us when we catch up! Love always Rachael ridgeway
