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.
He was met by My Mom (Winnie) his Dad's Dad and Mom (Charlie and Pearle). Joseph greeted my Daddy (Curt) June 3, 2009. He has both sets of his grandparents with him now. I love you all so much and one day we will all be together. Until then I know you all are getting those famous Hugs from my precious baby boy.
Joseph I miss you so much!!!!!
JOSEPH loved going to the car races
On sunday afternoons that is
where he loved to be.
JOSEPH worked in car detailing for
a few years. He also worked in
carpentry and roofed houses.
JOSEPH was the type of person
that loved to be on the go always.
When he was little we would always
tell him we should of named him
JOE GO.
JOSEPH always reminded me of my
mother. He was only 5 years old
when his maw-maw went to heaven.
He didn't remember her well but
always wanted me to tell him about
her. He would always say I sure
wish I could of got to know her better.
Now he is. I know my mother is getting
all those hugs that I am missing.
Mama take care of my baby for me
I love you both and miss you so much.
JOSEPH was a hugger. He loved to
hug you. He never was embarrassed
about giving us "Mom & Dad"
a hug and kiss.
A few people would call him a mama's
boy. He would just smile and say
Yes I am.
When JOSEPH left he took a big part
of me with him.
JOSEPH you will never be forgotten
and you will always be LOVED.

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.
His Favorite color is Green
His favorite drink was Dr.Pepper and Mountain dew
He loved music
Joseph loved to party and have 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 whacha 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.
I can't have a cell phone anymore
I had it for about a year after I lost him
I was waiting on Joseph to call me. I
could not take it anymore.

I want to thank them both for allowing me to use
their song on Joseph's site.
God Bless them both
Joseph fell asleep on April 14, 2005 the worst day
of our lives. I tried so hard to wake him up
I don't know if I will ever get that image out
of my head. I begged him to open his eyes
I begged him to breath for me

Joseph 5 years now so far away but so close. Sometimes I think
it gets easier but then it all comes crashing down on me
The day I walked into your room and couldn't get you
to wake up. That haunts me over and over. If I only could of ??????
The what and if's will always be a part of my life.
But I do know one thing that will always be the same.
"I LOVE YOU SON"

wishing I could hold you again

is not the same and never will be until the day we are
reunited again in God's kingdom.

and happy now. I wish I could of made your life better.
If only I had of known how to make it better. Miss you so much.
