Jose Bravo Obituary

Joey,

You know that JR and I both miss you and I hope you felt how much we love you. We talk about you a lot and remind ourselves of some of those happy times down in the Bravo household. You endured a lot of pain, but I want you to know how much I admire the happiness you found in the little things: sitting on the porch in the sun, McDonalds, watching a movie, BBQ ribs, looking through the Disney catalog, a bottle of Pepsi. We even miss your complaining-not that you ever complained about being sick-but the other things, and you know what I'm talking about: "those little rugrats", some Belle slobber, getting a haircut! We all knew not to say anything to you on haircut day. Those are things that made us love you even more.

Dear Joe & Dawn,



I wanted you to know how blessed I feel that I knew Joey. He was a wonderful, strong, compassionate person. I will miss that smile of his.



I know that the silence is going to be deafening in your home, but take comfort in knowing what an incredible gift he was to all who knew him.



My thoughts are with you always,



Jennifer

Joey - the one thing that I will always remember about you is all the help you gave to me while I was baby-sitting your brothers and sisters. You were able to make them listen to me, and you helped me calm down by making me play Sonic the hedgehog with you every time I was there! And you made me laugh by letting me know how terrible I was at it! My only regret was not being able to get to know you better in the years that I've been around.But what I do know is that you are so strong and such a loving and caring person. I admire you and look up to you because of that. I know that you are are in a much better place now, but that will never stop either me or Dustin from missing you. We both love you and we will never forget you.

Dear joey,



You are my only big brother. We shared so much together in our lives. Our secrets we will never say. You always helped me when I was afraid. I spent lots of time with you but it can never be enough. I love you with all my heart. You meant so much to me and always will. You are in my thoughts big brother. I will never stop missing or loving you. :*( Have a good time in heaven. Say hi to Mom and Duke for me please.



Love always,

Miranda

To Joe and the entire Bravo family,



My condolences go out to you in your time of mourning. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Things I learned about Joey. He likes clam chowder soup and cream of mushroom. He misses Lily. He is a huge fan of 007 movies. He knows the names of all the actors who played James Bond and the names of the supporting actors and the years they starred in the film. He is tired of being sick. According to Joey it all began when he was in high school and developed arthritis. Jason is one of his best friends. Dawn can make him laugh so hard it hurts. The time he spends at the store with his dad is priceless. He likes collecting coins, comic books, star wars memorabilia, white sox memorabilia, shot glasses. He knows he is very ill.

Joey:



It was a lucky day for me when I met Dawn. In becoming friends with your Mom, I was given the opportunity to meet the whole Bravo family. Jordan learning Japanese, Gabby taking Tae Kwon Do, Lia Brittany Spears Bravo singing into the phone and you. You always had long-term goals. Your courage, endurance and gentleness reflected the true definition of life. Never lose sight of the forest.



From time to time, I recall to friends and family an occasion I shared with you and your family. Regardless of the memory, the ending is always the same, laughing and smiling. For a brief moment, I see in their eyes what never left yours.



Always,

Jan

Stephanie & Family,



I would like to send my condolences to you and your family at this sad time. For the short period of time that I knew Joey, he was an outstanding and happy person. I know how hard it is to loose a loved one, but just remember that you have memories that will last a life time. As hard as it is to realize that he is gone, Joey is in God's world now where there is no pain or worries and he will always be shining down watching over you and your family.



Love Always,

Bridgett

Dear Joey,

Although I have only had the pleasure of meeting you a couple of times, I marvel still at your friendly personality. I feel like I have known you forever, from your sister Stephanie's endless conversations about the things you had accomplished in your short life, and all times you spent together, in these last few months. I know you are probably touring Disney World now with your Mom.

I want to send my heartfelt condolences to the Bravo family, and especially to Stephanie, who I know is missing you so much. You are an angel now.

Joey, you were my best friend. I will always remember you and you will always be in my heart. I can not understand why you were taken away from us. But it was God's decision no matter how much we disagree with it.



You will never be forgotten with me Joey. All i have to do to remember you is to think of the times we spent at the ball games, watching wrestling, going to movies and even just sitting on the porch for hours just talking. We have been friends for a long time and you will always be my friend. My best friend.



My condolences go out to the Bravo family. I love you guys. You have always treated me like one of you. I will miss Joey so much. I am very sorry for your lose in your family.



You will always be in my heart and memories.



Your friend,

Jason
