Joseph Andrew Bressi

Our son Joseph was one of a kind. From the moment he was born he was sweet, kind and loving. Joseph was the best baby a new mother could ask for. As he grew both in height and character, we began to see him become a very caring and compassionate young man.

Joseph loved to spend time with the little kids in our family, often making videos with snap chat filters to entertain them. The kids would climb on him like a jungle gym and he loved every minute of it.

Joseph loved many things including cats, cookies and music. He spent a lot of time at the beach both alone and with friends. Joseph liked to ride his skate board at night on the boardwalk and hike Cowles Mountain. He had a well-developed sense of humor and enjoyed sharing funny memes.

Joseph was incredibly loyal and fiercely protective of his family and friends. He would not tolerate anyone disrespecting people he was close to. If you needed him he would always make himself available to you in a time of need, whether you needed a ride, an ear to listen, a few dollars, a hug or just some company. He put everyone before himself.

His father and I are incredibly proud of the man he became and it was an honor to be his parents.
