Death

Joseph Daniel Furr, 19, of Little River Community near Brevard, went to be with his Lord Jesus Christ on Saturday, Dec. 27, 2008. His death was accidental. He was born Feb. 16, 1989, in Charlotte and he attended Weddington area schools from kindergarten through 10th grade.

He attended Blue Ridge Community College for his freshman year and had been accepted for transfer to Western Carolina University in January to begin his sophomore year. His many interests included baseball, golf, hunting, fishing, music, cooking, being with family and his many friends. His quick sense of humor brought joy to all who knew him.

Survivors include his parents, Joseph and Sandra Furr of Little River; a sister, Heather with husband Heath Kinsland of Little River; nieces, Hailey and Anna Kinsland; aunts Betty Stone, Jan Robertson and Elaine Parks; an uncle, Buddy Furr, all of Charlotte; and 13 cousins.
