Joseph was born December 1, 1996 in LaGrange, GA, son of Terra “TJ” Cobb Clay and John W. Andrews. He was a Store Manager at Starbucks and an Apprentice Photographer at Birds on a Wire with Crystal Hill. Joseph was an inclusive advocate and volunteer for several organizations and groups including American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, working to end child bullying, Woof Avenue Pet Rescue and Black Lives Matter. He could be found walking, marching and speaking out for the causes of others and organizations would reach out to him for his involvement. Joseph loved hard, looked for the beauty in life and always sought to “Find Something Purple”, because to him anything purple was beautiful.
