Joseph Calhoone Braaten was born to Larry and DeLee Braaten December 28, 2002, in Wolf Point, Montana. He attended elementary school in Tucson, AZ.
Joseph enjoyed watching WWE Wrestling (especially John Cena), fixing everything around the house (whether broken or not), and helping his father. He was a music guru. He also was an origami master and a paper airplane king.
Joseph was always smiling and looking on the bright side of everything. He was protective of his mom and sister. His family called him “BoBo”. He was always willing to give a hand and learn something new. Joseph was better known to most people as “JoJo”. He was so full of life yet had a touch of attitude to let you know that he had STYLE. He kept his mom and sister on their toes, but he would quickly back either of them up in a heartbeat. If someone else would be upset, he would always try to lift their spirits by doing anything and everything to make them smile (even if it would be at his own expense). JoJo will always be loved from head to toe and from infinity and beyond.
