-Joel had a daughter named Sarah, and was married to her mother for a short period of time.
-Saddled early in life with the responsibilities of parenthood at a young age, he never had the opportunity to attend college.
-Regarding his ex-wife, whatever occurred between them is painful for Joel to talk about.
-Shortly after Sarah was born, Joel's wife left him.

-He kept a revolver locked in a safe box in his office and owned a pick-up truck outside his house.
-Building plans laid on his bedside table along with several copies of a book called Construction Regionalism on top of his bookshelf.
-He possessed ambitions of starting his own business, with a copy of Everything You Need to Know About Creating a Startup also on a table next to his bed.
-His job kept him fit, and he owned a treadmill in his bedroom.
-He mentioned in a phone call that he was struggling to keep his job with a contractor.
-Despite his long, hard-working hours, he still managed to spend quality time with Sarah, as seen in photographs displayed throughout their home showing the two on a cruise, at a carnival with Tommy, and one of Sarah's soccer matches.
-Additionally, the two often went on several hikes together.
-Sarah also made him take her to every museum in Texas.
-On his 32nd birthday—just hours leading up to the outbreak—Sarah gave him a new watch as a gift to replace the one he had broken months before.
-This became a cherished memento he manages to keep in the turbulent years ahead.
