Family friend Steve Thompson shared information on his Facebook page saying Joe had been diagnosed with two sets of unruptured aneurysms a couple of weeks ago. “He underwent surgery to fix one of the aneurysms last Wednesday and was in recovery, awaiting discharge, when the second aneurysm near his brain stem hemorrhaged on Sunday night,” wrote Thompson.

After running a brain stem activity test yesterday doctors found Joe did not respond. He was taken off life support yesterday evening. Joe’s organs were donated. Family friends say this was the kind of selfless act they believe Joe would have chosen.
