Joseph "Big Joe" Quinton
Dec 18, 1977 - Oct 5, 2008
Our friend Joe was diagnosed with stage 4 large cell Lymphoma last January after complaining of a back ache over Christmas break. This past weekend he lost his fight with cancer and was called home at 3:30 am Sunday morning. He is survived by his loving family and friends who will miss him very much. Joe was only 30 years old. Please go here for funeral information and how you can help.
Even though I was better friends with Joe's siblings then with him, his loss is still felt in our household and our prayers are with his family during this time. I am greatful to know that months ago Joe had turned to our Heavenly Father and was on his way back to church and the fullness of the gospel. I am sure he will continue his journey for truth on the other side with family to help him along the way. We'll miss you Joe!

Thank you, your post is very touching. In Joe's last two blessings before his death, there was a lot of talk about how much work God has waiting for him, so I feel sure his growth will continue. I also feel sure that he's already cracking everyone in spirit paradise up with his jokes. :)
Also, your bread is yummy! :)
So, so sorry.
When I saw the picture I was really hoping the post title was in reference to the cat. =(
Sorry for the loss, I hope everyone left behind will be okay.
The cat died BEFORE Joe, so they're together again. :)
Oh my gosh, that's so young! How heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. :o(
