The Carver community mourns the loss and celebrates the life of beloved Joseph “Joe Joe” Scott III.
Joe Joe was a Carver student since his middle school years. His patient, thoughtful and kind ways made Joe Joe a friend of anyone fortunate enough to know him. But there is a group of Carver young men who formed an especially strong and close bond over the years with Joe Joe and each other, kindred spirits, friends forever.
Joe Joe was an involved Carver student who enthusiastically participated in all our activities, including our annual 10-day spring College Tour. Upon visiting Delaware State University, Joe Joe knew where he wanted to go to college — and he did, right there. He went on to become an outstanding Carver staff member beloved by our students today, until Joe Joe succumbed to an illness after a long and valiant struggle.
Joe Joe’s mother became a Carver staff member shortly after entering her son into Carver’s after school program. She is affectionately known by everyone here, especially our elementary aged CASPER children, as Miss Renee,
The loss of Joseph W. Scott III is felt deeply by countless friends and family members. We will be holding a candlelight memorial service outside the Carver Community Center this Saturday, August 1st, at 6:30PM to remember and celebrate Joe Joe’s life and example.
