Someone forwarded me this email.
It is with a broken heart that I let you know that our dear friend, Joel Hastings, passed away just a few minutes ago. He fought a valient fight but the injuries to his brain were just too much to overcome.
Please pray for God's comfort and grace for Joel's family and for each other.
We have scheduled a time tommorow at 9:30 a.m. in the Patton High School auditorium for any of our school system family to just meet together and remember Joel.
The children of our community and state have lost a true advocate as we have lost a great friend. Only by God's amazing grace can we deal with such a tragedy.
Thank you for being the wonderful school system family you are.
