Services are Noon Friday, May 23, in the Horizon Room at Trimble Funeral Home at Trimble Pointe, 701 12th Street, Moline. Visitation is one hour prior to services.

Joel was born December 4, 2007, at Genesis East in Davenport, Iowa, to Jacqueline Hodges-Eberle and Joel Eberle Sr.

He attended ALC High School in Minnesota and was a member of First Covenant Church in Willmar, Minnesota. He enjoyed spending his time at Epik. He had a passion for drawing and a deep love for rap music. With a heart full of gold, Joel was fiercely protective of his family and friends. His smile was truly infectious, lighting up every room he entered. Joel loved food, especially ramen noodles seasoned with hot sauce and lemon pepper, a favorite he never got tired of.

Joel leaves behind so many who loved him deeply: his parents, Jacqueline and Joel Sr.; brothers, Davion, Demetrius, Joe'Siah and Joe'Kheem; sisters, Deshawna, Terriana, and Joeliyn; grandfathers, Charles Thompson and James Eberle; aunts, Teresa, Florence and, Charlene; uncles, Samuel and David; niece, Marietta; nephew, Reese; favorite cousin, Emanuel Ellis; and best friend, Talon James.

He was preceded in death by his siblings, Joe’ziyah, Jordan Eberle, and Davon Rouse; grandmothers, Jeannetta Hodges and Marilyn Eberle; and aunt, Jennifer Harris.

Joel’s presence in our lives was a gift, and though his time here was far too short, the impact he made will be felt forever. We will miss his laughter, his hugs, his music, and his giant heart.
