Joe’s Story

Site created on November 3, 2018


On Thursday, November 1, 2018, Joe was found in his kitchen at home.  EMS was called and he was flown via helicopter to University of Maryland Shock Trauma medical center in Baltimore, MD.  He was stabilized and transferred to the Trauma ICU, where he will remain for the foreseeable future.  When he fell, Joe broke his neck in three places. At this time, it is unclear what the future holds. We are taking it minute by minute, and wrapping our heads around the situation.  


Thank you for visiting Joe's Caring Bridge site!First and foremost, We appreciate the prayers and support from all of you. Our family could not go through this without you and we thank you in advance from the bottom of our heart. This journey is just beginning, and it will be a very long road. We know that our lives are changed forever in some ways so having such incredible support is inspiring and encouraging. We plan to continue to write journals and updates and use this as our main point of communication in regard to his treatment, in hopes we can put all our time and effort in to supporting Joe.

Celebration of Life INFORMATION

Journal entry by Darden Sachs —

FYI for those asking (and thank you for considering joining!): The Celebration of Life is not a traditional funeral/service...in fact, there is no service. Joe would have wanted a party so that's what he is going to get. It is simply a gathering with some of his favorite foods, drinks and a video montage or two. Pop in for a minute or stay a while. It's a great excuse to bring people we love together and pay our respects with a good old fashion Joe Sachs CHEERS.

For those interested, here is the information for Scott's father's Celebration of Life this Saturday. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions.
