To the family of Elder Joel Rush.
My name is Rev. H.I. Wright and I had the chance to meet Elder. Rush at my home church where I was serving as a deacon at that time. I recalled his fire for young people, his passion for music and his love for God. When I met him----along with the blessing of my pastor, we were able to put some awesome events at the church. Such as bringing my alum high school Mackenzie choir to perform. Although I had been ministering at other churches, We had a chance to do a night revival the day before Valentines Day. I remember his ordination as an Elder in the Lords chuurch. He was an overall awesome person. On behalf of my family, and myself I send my prayers and condolences. I am apologize for the lateness I just found out.

Always with a lot of joy and fun much love to you cuz I

I love you! Rest well my dear Jo Jo

JoJo I already miss our "Chat and Chew" sessions. I would be on Lunch break at the Hospital and I would call You. You would talk to me about your Day and many other Funny things me s well.

God knew on July 4th he didn't need a cook his need was a Choir Director and Soloist so, he decide to choose You.

I know You are there to his right hand because, You are absent from the Body.

You take your Rest Cousin. I know many times I told You give OUT but, never give UP. God always has the last word Sleep on Cousin till We all meet again.

Jo Jo, you were an amazing cousin, singer, pianist, speaker and loving human being. I truly respected your vibrant personality, honesty and mindset. We had many conversations about African American History and how we as a people positivity impacted this country. To say the least, I learned a lot from you. You were a wonderful cousin and friend. You will be missed. Love and Respect, Beverley “Pemo”.

With my deepest sympathy, I send my condolences to the Rush family. Joel, it was a pleasure and honor to have known you. Rest easy my friend.

Absent from the body present with the Lord. He will be missed. Continued prayers for the family. Nadie Holmes

Sending my prayers and condolences to you all.

I’m so sad to hear of the sudden passing of my friend Joel. Joel made such an impact in the city of Flint. I won’t ever forget our days in the choir at The Greater Mt. Calvary. Joel had an awesome voice. I will miss our talks when he would call me “out of the blue.” I loved seeing Joel and those great nieces of his. I called them Joel’s Angels. My prayers for those babies and the entire family. Joel rests now in the arms of JESUS.

God has another singer. Praying for the family.

He was an awesome singer and friend. You will be truly missed.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Prayers for the entire family. Joel and I lived in the same apt complex and I was just thinking about him because I had not seen him at the MTA terminal lately. He was one of a kind and will be missed. The Flint School district will miss him because he kept the students in line.
