In the image, Prince is portrayed wearing beige pants, a sleeveless, black hoodie, and a matching cap. Next to him was Joe, who passed away on June 27, wearing blue jeans, a red shirt, and a black hat.

Even though the photo was an essential aspect of the post, the message Prince wrote was the highlight of it. He started by writing that Joe was and will always be an example of ‘sheer willpower’ and dedication.

Prince added that Joe didn’t choose the easy path but the one that was better for his entire family.

Apart from his cancer, he suffered some health issues in recent years, including a life-threatening stroke on Joe’s 87th birthday.

Even before his passing, several rumors were surrounding Joe claiming that he had died. However, Joe himself would use his social media accounts to shut those rumors down.

Joe passed away at 89 years of age. He is survived by nine children and several grandchildren.
