This memorial website was created to remember our dearest son Joseph Eldon Smith who was born in Arkansas on March 14, 1983 and passed away on April 14, 2005. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
When Joseph was born he weighed in at 11 lbs. even big boy. He was always shy when he was little. He did grow out of that. He was a joy to be around from the start. He has an Older sister (Nicki), an Older brother (Bryan), and a Younger brother (Nathan). He had a fiancee (Rhonda) whom he loved very much. And of course his Mom (Dessa Marie) his dad (Charles). and many family and friends.



THE BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew that morning, that God
Was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Joseph loved cooking. He would fix our dinners
a couple of times a week. He would try
different things and it was always great.
I miss you son beyond words you will never be forgotten you will
always be loved and always missed.

Thank you Lisa, Edward Copeland's sister

Joseph loved to party and family get togethers
He was always the life of the party

Joseph was never shy in telling his family that
he loved us it did not matter who was around
he would always tell us and if he was
not home he called. He would call 10 to
20 times a day. I can hear him now he would say
"Hey what you doing where you at" even if he had just talked
to you 10 minutes before. His dad and I would laugh when
our phone would ring because we knew it was him
and we knew how it would start. We also knew how it would end.
"I'll talk to you later I love you"
I miss him so much my heart will ache forever.
But we never dreamed in a millions years
we would never talk to him again.

Thank you Teri, Jaime Drebit's Mom
