Joe had a undiagnosed heart problem which caused his death at 17 years old. Joe had a strong Catholic faith and his words continue to help and inspire others.
...Mrs Weir gave me a hug today! I was overjoyed that she mentioned the "DJ boys" in the school radio.
Thank you, Lord!
for the school I belong to,
for the power of monsignor Taylor, our patron
and for the immeasurable blessings you give to Taylor High School."
@TaylorHS1982 Such a beautiful mass tonight to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Joe's school - Taylor High School. In Joe's own words:
" What a wonderful school!
I am extremely proud to be part of Taylor High School. There is so much happiness and love to be found there.

What a wonderful visit to the school by Alan Wilson, sharing with the Caritas students the life and faith of his son Joe Wilson. Wonderful insight into their journey of faith and great q&a session at the end.@JoesFaith@CN_HS

Tonight, we got a message from a woman who's been praying for Joe's intercession recently. She was going for a very competitive job interview and took with her Joe's prayer card
She got word, she got the job & credits it as a favour from Joe! God bless in the new role!
I have a prayer request. My family is in dire financial straits and we need help. I’m asking for prayers for me and my family that we be delivered from this situation by getting the funds we need. Thank you very much and if you could retweet. I don’t have many followers. Thanks
Joe Wilson HT award Outtakes
Here's a lovely clip from around about 1 month before Joe had died. He was just awarded the Head Teacher's award at Taylor HS and the school asked him to make this short interview. As with everything, Joe took it all in his usual humble way.

We have a prayer request for a lady's son who is in a vicious cycle of drink and depression.
Please ask the intercession of Joe Wilson in helping break this cycle
