(RIP) Nzoner - Page 17

Joe called me yesterday and asked to me post about what is going on.

If you haven't heard, he has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer.

Talk about a rock. Guy survives his heart attack, then loses his wife, and now this? It's incredible to me how strong he is...I mean, can you imagine?

They have given him a pain blocker that he says is working well, though he has trouble eating. He had a port installed for chemo.

He is in incredibly good spirits, even though he admitted to me he's tired, he wants to finish the race shining the Light of the Lord to others. He's at peace and I'm proud of how he has handled ALL of this with so much grace.

Please pray for mercy if you would be so kind. He didn't ask me to start this thread so people could feel sorry for him, he asked me because he wanted you all to know that the headstone finally was set in place, he just wasn't up to doing it ( in hospital today), and I don't blame him.

I'd like to thank everyone who donated to this cause. Joe is a special guy a and all those bashes made more than good times, they made lifelong friends. I'll forever be grateful to have known him & Kathy.

Be good to those you love.

MOD EDIT: Here's a little more detail on Joe's new work:

Joe was passionate about many things in life – Jesus Christ, Music, Football, Fireworks, and good food. Many knew him as “Jammin’ Joe,” “NZoner” from ChiefsPlanet.com, or “Pyro Joe.”

Joe was preceded in death by his mother, Sondra, and wife, Kathy. He is survived by his father Larry, stepmother Patty, brother Kevin (Theresa), nephews Brad and Ian, nieces Shannon and Alyssa, several cousins, and two fur-babies Oscar & Sadie.

The video he recorded that starts at about 44:30 is worth a watch if nothing else.

Today is Joe's birthday!

Happy Birthday brother!

He confided in me the other day about feeling bad when people from the planet came to visit, and due to his current physical state, he really wasn't able to fully enjoy everyone's company.

But he's doing much better now (

)and extended a invitation to the planet to come up to watch one of the remaining games, like a final mini bash for old time sakes.

Bugeater and I are going so let one of us know if you'd like to go and we can figure out which game.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, love on those you care about.

Intrigued. I would like to meet some of you crazy bastards if I can.

And happy happy birthday Mr. Nzoner

Intriguing.

Oh man, don't leave it up to me. You guys plan when is best for you since my chances are small.

I talked to the wife about it and she said go for it but I've got a list of "ifs" before I can make it. Don't plan around me.

**Bugeater** · 12-26-2022, 01:44 PM

Oh, we're planning around you

**Bugeater** · 12-26-2022, 01:58 PM

Ok, Joey has decided the Bronco game is the one

I could swing that IF.

1. First and foremost it will depend on how Nzoner is feeling.
2. How I'm doing (shouldn't be a problem since I've been doing good)
3. Probably the biggest hurdle will be I'll be by myself and the wife said absolutely no to me driving on my own. Not sure if anyone in my area would be interested in going. (I'll buy the gas)
4. Someone has to squeeze my ass if I make it.

Long shot in hell, I know. That's why I didn't want to pick the game.

**Bugeater** · 12-26-2022, 02:21 PM

Where you at? Joplin?

**Bugeater** · 12-26-2022, 02:28 PM

I will happily squeeze your ass btw

I was going to make a crass joke but thought this thread needs to stay posting about Nzoner. Might make a new one for those who don't check in here regularly?

Probably not a bad idea to start another thread
