Joseph's obituary

The world shined a little less bright on Thursday, March 19th, 2020 when Joseph Patrick Nelson unexpectedly passed away. At 24 years old, he lost his life far too soon.

Joseph was born in Corona, California on August 4th, 1995. He is survived by his son, Angelo, who he loved endlessly. Also surviving are his wife Adison, his mother, Doreen, his twin brother, Jarred and his “chosen” brother Kyle. He was preceded in death by his brother, Johnathon and his father, Michael.

Joe’s smile was just as contagious as his enthusiasm. While he loved making people laugh, his true goal was to make his loved ones shake their heads at his antics. He succeeded in achieving that goal far more times than his family can count.

Joseph had a passion for all things fitness related, taking great pride in his “gains”. While Joseph was sometimes known to be unpredictable, you could always be sure that he would clear his (very full) plate and was going for seconds. His love of fitness and bodybuilding led to his work as a personal trainer, as he had a genuine desire to help people be healthy and obtain their goals.

Outside of the gym, Joe had a love for building and improving things. He admired the carpentry talents of his father, Michael and aspired to share in them.

Lastly, Joseph truly believed in the Lord. While sometimes his walk with Jesus was a little more of a crawl, he believed in the word and tried his best to live by it. We all knew one day he would be welcomed into the pearly gates to be with his Father, we just didn’t know that day would come so soon. He was loved unconditionally and life won't be the same without him.

Arrangements will be announced at a later time.
