My friend and brother in Christ you will be missed, I have had the pleasure of knowing Joël for over 50 years and we grew up and went to school together along with many other great friends that Joel now has the greatest gift to be around them again in heaven. I have many wonderful memories of our times together and conversations over the years. I want to thank Jackie for communicating with me as well. I share my condolences with the entire family and my prayers are with you all.
So until we meet again,” well done good and faithful servant”

I was saddened to hear of the passing of my longtime friend Joel. We were born exactly one week apart, me on the 6th and Joel on the 13th. Our parents were good friends, and we grew up as Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts at St. Joseph Catholic Church and attended South San High School class of ’73.
I will truly miss Joel but will remember him each year on his birthday.
My condolences to Judy, Jackie, Jimmie, Charlie and the entire Herrera Family.
May the lord have mercy upon his soul and may perpetual light shine upon him.
Rest in peace my friend.

There are no words that can begin to capture the magnitude of your loss. I’m so sorry that you and your family are going through this…you’ll are in my thoughts and prayers. I once read, “Death is nature’s way of saying, you were truly loved. The connections were heaven made; they will last even after the next lift. Mr. Joel, you will be deeply missed but loved until eternity. Your memories will be with those you loved always. Tears that are shed are for words left unsaid and good actions left undone.” Rest in Heavenly Peace

Dear Cousin Joel, you have left us with broken hearts but a lifetime of sweet memories we will forever cherish! You have been an example of joy in the midst of pain and suffering. Others were uplifted and encouraged by your humor, jovial nature and positive outlook on life. We’ll remember your love for karoake, fresh mountain air, everything sports, strong love for family and God’s magnificent nature. We always hoped you’d write your memoir of experiences with the many individuals you offered hope along your path.
We rejoice that you are now with Jesus & beloved family members welcoming you into your eternal home…and hearing those precious words: “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
Love you, Hope & David💔

We are Zuni Mountain neighbors that looked forward to and enjoyed sharing time with Joel here. We enjoyed his singing and his many stories of his life and family. He was very proud of Joe and Grayson. He met his health challenges with strength and always a positive attitude. We truly admired that. Rest in peace dear friend.
