We always have and always will love you Joey. May you finally be at peace sweetheart… :'(
I’m so sorry for him and his family. People can be so cruel. I hope the bullies are brought to justice. It’s not right to pick on people just because you can. Rest easy young man. May your family find peace.
Its a shame it lead up to this, poor kid. R.I.P
Hope those kids that bullied him are happy.
I’m so sorry for your loss Juan!!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!!!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Heavy heart over this news of another instance of cruelty from unhappy, mean and thoughtless people to another human being. May this young man rest in eternal peace.
My sincere condolences. May Joey rest in peace. If his death was caused by a violent crime go apply for victims of crime contact district attorney’s office in his county of death and they can help with services.
RIP sweet boy. It just breaks my heart to even think that bullying goes this far. More outreach is needed in the schools. My daughter was being picked on in 1st grade and I put a stop to it immediately because I didn’t want it to turn into a full bullying case. I called the principal immediately and told her of the girls that were involved and let her sort it out. After the incident that went on for a couple of weeks, I’m proud to say that all the girls made up and even paid an apology to my daughter. My heart just bleeds for these poor parents.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family!!! R.I.P Jose
