Never needed a phone to capture all the fun times we had. One day we were sitting on the couch eating snacks being on our phone , to another day running from dogs. I’ll always remeber all the sweat, blood , and tears bro , we learned a lot growing up. I’ll always remember don’t be too emberassed , scarred , or nervous to do something. If your gonna go , then go and not look back.

Remeber when we stayed at the rancho for 3 days straight for my birthday. And we convinced your mom to let you stay home from school. I’ll always remeber you as my ranchero brother. One day i’ll get that rancho we wanted as kids.

Always told our selfs we were going to start our own Landscape business , any chance we could get on the machines we would take them, and never disappoint.

One thing about you , you always had money.

When i think about you , I think about the legacy we were going to make , but ever since they ripped us off we didn’t want to continue breeding roosters. Lol

A toda la Familia Muñoz Arriaga queremos extender nuestro más sentido pésame por la pérdida de Joel Aniano, un joven de buen corazón y con espíritu trabajador. 
La familia Navarro Arriaga ofrece oraciones para su eterno descanso  y ofrece acompañamiento en estos momentos tan difíciles para el corazón.
RIP Joel Aniano

My son was a loving, caring, full of life with no fear of anything kind of adolescent. He was strong and courageous and never let the hard things of life get him down. He always carried a smile on his face and was quick to crack a joke always kept everyone on their toes. He never gave up even when life was hard. He worked hard and always made sure his siblings were taken care even with being the youngest. He was my rock and my baby and I am so blessed God gave me the opportunity of being his mother. Joel was loved by so many and he will forever leave a mark in our hearts. He had a love for trucks and always working hard to feel the joy of knowing he was able to accomplish what he wanted with his passion of trucks. Although our hearts are sadden by the loss of him we will forever be grateful for him and will continue to push forward knowing he would say mom keep your head up keeping going you got this mom never give up. I pray that no matter what his beautiful heart will continue on as his legacy of unity, kindness and genuine compassion for others. He was a great son, a great brother, great cousin, grandson, and a great friend. I love you baby boy and no matter what I still got your back and will forever be so proud of you.

I did not know Joel but want to send my condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss. I was outside &  herd the wreck when it happend & told my husband someone just had a bad wreck. I had no clue it was so close though, on the street up from mine. Prayers to the family. God bless you all.

Joel was a beautiful hard working soul. He never let things stop him he was a determined person and for being so young he accomplished so much i was so proud each time I would check on him , such a smart and sweet person who deserved nothing but the best.He left a mark on all the people that had the blessing of experiencing a friendship with him .But god had his plans to make him an angel so as we look up and see the sky ,know that he is with god. Watching over his loved ones ,and he will pick yall up if yall fall hes the protector now💙🕊️🕊️We love you so much .

#LONG LIVE JOEL🕊️💙
god only knows how much this breaks my heart i never thought i would be saying long live Joel this boy has always been there for me through thick, and thin since the moment i met him he was always there for me when i needed him the most, and there was never a duel moment with him he was someone i truely care for with my whole heart. i can’t believe i lost one of the most amazing, and important person in my life. he was my absolute fav hb ever words can’t even describe it. we would fight like sibling, laughed like siblings, he was like a little brother i never had. he would always made sure i ate, and if i didn’t he would bring me food to make me eat even when i didn’t want too no matter what time it was. He was the sun to my moon bc when i was in a dark place he made it brighter. He was the stars in the sky, bc without the star the sky would look lonely, and he never made me feel lonely. He made me feel like I worth so much more than I thought. He always lit up the room anywhere he would be. His smile was so big and so beautiful. His smile was the smile that would make you smile. His eyes were always so shiny and glossy from how beautiful they were. He impacted my life so much. He was a blessing in disguise. I never thought I would lose a friend. Losing him hurt worse than losing my grandpa, and that says so much. I feel like losing him, made my spark go away. My smile isn’t actually a smile anymore it’s more of a smile were I try to hide the pain. I wish I had more time with him. I wish I took more pictures, and videos.i absolutely loved this boy sm he was the most kindest, sweetest, most caring soul that ever walked into my life 
, and he will forever and always be loved and missed im always gonna rep his name no matter what.  this shii hurts my heart he will forever be the missing piece in my heart words can’t even describe the way I feel rn prayers to his friends, and family sending my condolences I LOVE YOU MANE ALWAYS AND FOREVER ☹️💔🕊️💙

joel is such a kind and loving soul, he would take care of anyone before he would take care of himself. he helped me at my lowest and brought me to my highest, he knows how to light up a room with his beautiful smile and his vibrant energy. he was the truest friend to me ever, he was always there for me no matter what. great is an understatement to describe joel bc he is a wonderful person, i love you joel, may God bless you.

Joel always had a way of bringing warmth and laughter into every space he walked into. He was truly the light of the room, always knowing how to make people smile, how to crack a joke at just the right time, or how to sit in silence with you when that’s all you needed. Around him, I always felt safe like nothing in the world could go wrong as long as Joel was near. He had this calm, steady presence that made everyone feel a little more grounded. One thing everyone knew about Joel was how much he loved his truck. That wasn’t just a vehicle to him it was a part of who he was. He took care of it like it was a prized possession, always talking about upgrades, detailing it constantly, and lighting up every time he got behind the wheel. That truck held memories, adventures, late-night drives, and moments that only Joel could make unforgettable. Losing him feels unreal, and there’s a hole that no one else can fill but I’ll carry his light, his laughter, and his love for life with me always. te amo mucho mi amor te extraño 💔💙🕊️

Im sorry for your loss joel was one of my close friends i would’ve never thought God would take him so soon, i broke down as soon as i heard the new and i send who ever is reading this my condolences.May joey rest in peace long live joey we will forever and always remember him.🕊️💔
