Joseph was more than just a contracted security professional—he was a son, a friend, a coworker, and a man whose presence brought a sense of calm and reliability to those around him. Those who knew him describe him as dedicated, hardworking, and deeply committed to his responsibilities. He carried himself with quiet strength, always striving to protect and serve with integrity and professionalism. His work was not just a job; it was a reflection of his character and sense of duty.
