Joseph Latimer Support and Funeral Expenses

On June 8th our precious Joey was in a tragic accident. Unfortunately the outcome resulted in his passing at the age of 17. When Joey was born he could fit in the palm of your hand. Very early on he was diagnosed with Autism and just when his future was unknown his Father (Bill Latimer), Mother(Spring Lefevre) and entire family all came together and were determined to give him the best life that they could and they did just that. Although Joey would never be free from seeking medical needs on a regular basis this past winter he battled extreme medical complications that most people would not have been able to survive. You name it he probably went through it...this all resulted in almost a 40 day stay in the ICU at Children's Hospital in the Twin Cities. Joey was just starting to make a full recovery from everything he endured late 2020, when early Tuesday morning he had a seizure which was the reason for the ambulance ride that day. Joe's family has known nothing other than being his care takers, his support, his voice, which they all loved to do and they all did it so well! The tragic loss of such a pure and innocent soul is going to be the ultimate test to the ones who loved and cared for him most. His father Bill/ Chrissy and siblings, Mother Spring/Joe,  Grama Kari, Grampa Bucky/Vickie, Great Grandparents Jean and Everett, Aunts, Uncles and many many cousins will forever have a piece of their hearts that will be missing. On June 8th not only did Joe lose his life, there were many others involved in this terrible and tragic accident that will forever be affected as well. Our small community has endured so much grief and sadness over this past year. There really are no words to explain what so many are battling right now. We kindly ask that anyone who is able to extend a helping hand in anyway possible, big or small, your generosity will be forever appreciated. 

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Lakisha Troumbly but most people refer to me as Kisha. My fiance Josh Smith is Bill's 1st cousin(Joe's Dad). I've been given the honor to be in charge of this amazing gift that Joe's family is about to receive. All donations are coming directly to me, it was decided this would be easiest for the family. As the funds and any another donations come in, I will personally see to it that it is given to Joe's parents and family. Every donation and penny will be accounted for. I appreciate you all having my trust with this and I won't let you down.
