Joseph McGrath Obituary

Joe was a great kid who was full of life. He was always funny and bursting with energy. I know how much he'll be missed. The most vivid memory I have of Joe was when he was a little kid and his dog had been hit by a car on Ridgeland Ave. I'll never forget how much he was heartbroken. Our thoughts and condolences to Joe's entire family.

I hung out with Joe for awhile back in the day. He had a great personality. Our prayers are with his family!

You were a light in so many people's life you will be greatly missed

BOB SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS IF YOU NEED TO TALK OR ANYTHING ELSE I AM HERE FOR YOU HOLLY ALSO

I went to Our Lady of the Ridge with Joe up until the 6th grade. We were boyfriend and girlfriend for a bit and I remember the day I bought him 2 boxes of baseball cards for Xmas, he was soo happy. I tried for years to find him on fb or asked other friends if they knew how he was. He was one of those people that you could never forget. Such a funny boy.

My condolences to the family on your loss. I heard the new the other day and couldnt believe it. Much prayers to the McGrath family

My sweet boy your at peace now may God hold you in his arms and keep you safe forever. I Love You Connie

To the McGrath Family:

Yesterday i was enjoying a cool crisp day when i got the call that Joe had died. To say that i was shocked was an understatement. I immediately flashed back to all of my days as a lunch mom from Our Lady of the Ridge School - and joe's face popped into my mind. I was filled with such sorrow. Joe was quite the character - a wonderful free spirit that had a touch of the imp in him -- but, he never did anything that was mean spirited - he just was always making everyone laugh.

It is a loss to the entire community. He was a loving son - and a terrific friend - and not only his humor - but, his entire personality is going to leave a tremendous void. I have thought about him all night -- and i know that he will always have a little part in my heart - and i cannot think of him without a smile.

I extend to you my deepest sympathies. I offer a shoulder to lean on - and my prayers that your hearts will heal. Joe was a joy - and im sure as all of us have our moments -- I am sure that he had his to deal with. He was a good person - and i am sure he is soaring happily to his eternity. My thoughts, my prayers, and my support is with you. God bless you all.
