Joel will be missed , he taught me tolerance and acceptance .. God Speed

Joel brown had a great big smile that was great to see. He will be missed. Rest in peace buddy. I'll see you again in Heaven

In all the years I've known Joel, he was an inspiration and good friend.  Although I didn't see Joel on a regular basis, when we did meet, it was like it was only yesterday when we meet last.  I will miss him.

Joel was a gift from god. He showed me the meaning of love, and how to love. He will be missed every day.

We saw Joel at Sunday class ever time we visited our family in Colorado Springs.  He was a true inspiration to everyone.  God loves all his children.

Cherished and will greatly miss your happy hellos at the Dogtooth!

How fortunate I  was to meet you when I first moved to Colorado Springs in 1975.  As I watched your independence soar all of u who knew you were thrilled to see you happy in your career. Mark was instrumental in finding just the right place for you to show your
talents. You taught me so much and I'm happy that throughout these past 40 years I would see you quite often   I thank you for trusting me and for always having a warm greeting each time we met. I send healinlg thoughts to your family.

Joel, you were truly one of a kind. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been your good friend. The hours we spent chatting were such a treat, I just didn't always know it at the time. Now my phone rings less, and I feel your absence, buddy.

I am glad that I met you  and became best friends with you and an advocate for people with disabilities.  You will be greatly  missed. R.I.P Joel Brown

I appreciated your kind and helpful ways when I would visit the Dogtooth. I will miss your wonderful presence there.

JOEL YOU WILL BE MISSED BY ALL IN SPEAKING FOROURSELVES YOU WERE A GREAT ADVOCATE
I'M VERY PROUD TO HAVE KNOWN YOU

Joel I'm so very lucky to have gotten to meet you. You are a true blessing to everyone in Colorado Springs and the VA community. I will look forward to the day that we meet again. Sending your family many thoughts and prayers.

Joel  you will be dearly missed thank you for all the years you shared with our band and the wonderful memories you left behind.  I will always be reminded of you how you used to tell me  your baby is crying for you (which meant my keyboard,) and needs to be put to bed (which meant putting it in the case) you gave me lots of laughter.  God bless you Joel Brown may you rest in peacepeace.
