“He was such a proud member of our Charleston Southern Football ministry that even wrist surgery a few weeks ago failed to keep him away from his football family.” Denson would also say. “Later that day, after surgery, this guy was caught in the parking lot trying to attend a team meeting from which he was excused. I could talk non-stop about Joe, but the most important thing is that we remember him for who he was. He was a child of God, who without apologizing loved others in a way that honored God. To say that we will miss you would be an understatement, but let us trust that God will strengthen us and his family to honor his memory, using every day that God gives us to keep a big ‘Jo Jo’ smile on our face and love as he did. Our ongoing prayers and support are with your family, friends and teammates. Jo Jo may have died physically, but he will never be forgotten. We are better because of the times when we have been blessed to share with our Jo Jo. We love you for life in Christ Joe. “
