Joe Kelly: Rest In Peace

Today I woke up to find out that Joe Kelly, a very good acquaintance of mine had passed away. I could not believe it even after I had confirmed that it was true. I am still in a state of denial. Joe was so full of life and so eager to experience new things. Although I was not extremely close with him, Joe’s optimism and positivity was evident. I don’t think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. He will absolutely be missed and never forgotten. Let this remind us all of just how short life can be and to never take anything or anyone for granted. Love your friends and cherish the time that you have with them. Life is precious so live it to your full potential. I feel very fortunate to have met and spent time with Joe. His positive attitude was always inspiring and I regret not having shared those feelings with him. If you knew him, I have no doubt that you feel the same. Rest in peace Joe Kelly. Thank you for everything.
