Joseph Alan Wise
Joseph Alan Wise, 32, died Saturday, Jan. 21, 2017.
He was born March 11, 1984, in Tampa. He grew up in Temple Terrace and attended Temple Heights Christian School and church, where he was also baptized. He played on his high school basketball team and enjoyed playing classical guitar. He graduated high school from Seminole Presbyterian. He went on to attend Liberty University, and later graduated magna cum laude with a degree in biomedical science from the University of South Florida. He was loving and kind. He was tenderhearted, and loved all of God’s creatures great and small. He inherited his dad’s sense of humor and loved joking around and using many different comedic styles to share laughter. He brought a smile to many faces. His dad was one of his best pals and they spent a lot of time together. His greatest hope was in knowing Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord.
