Lil joe, you were my best friend and my rock. You guided me down the paths that were scary . You always made sure I was ok and taken care of. We had so many memories together and I will hold on to them and will always cherish and share them . I love you . Miss you everyday.
This is your lil brother I feel you every day I wish you were here to see my lil girl she is precious and she is a angel God sent her u would love your niece Diana Faith cooksey miss you everyday so does momma we miss you so much u know bye bro
I miss you alot man. I think about you every day and how I wish you were still here. You were more of a brother than a cousin and I'll always cherish each and every memory we shared together.
With deepest sympathy, my thoughts and prayers go out to all those that love and care for this beautiful person. Lil Joe is my cousin on my dad's side, Paul Cooksey. Although I didn't know him well, my memories of him as a rambunctious little boy and a quiet but kind young man are fond and warm my heart. May God bring comfort to all his family during this difficult time. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
Joe was my cousin. I have not seen him since he was a little boy, but I remember going over to his house and playing on the trampoline with him and his sister. My dad, Paul Cooksey, has always talked about his family and how much he loves them. Wish I knew them better myself. I'll be praying for Betty and Joe, also Lil Joe's wife and children. God loves us and assures us we will see our dead loved ones again. Rev.21:1-5. May He comfort you!
Lil Joe you have always been more of a brother too me than a cousin. We didn't see each other a lot or hang around each other a lot but what little we did was some of my best memories. I'm sure gonna miss you along with the rest of the family. We love you and miss you dearly.
Gonna miss u lil brother! You definitely lived life to the fullest, every chance u got! That's what made u just an all around great guy and friend. Make sure u find Willis up there so u can live eternity to the fullest too! Love and miss u Brother! The world has surely lost a one of a kind, but then again Heaven has gained one!
'Till we meet again,
Jenn
I love you Big Little Joe. You will be greatly missed.
