My problem with this is where you assume that "all the joy that I had known for all my life" refers to person. "Joy...for all my life" simply means that she was happy up to whenever the song takes place.

Also, I don't think it's mentioned here, but people didn't think this song was about Summer's death because Yang said that Ruby was too young to really understand what was going on. But, they're ignoring that your parents are pretty much the center of your universe when you are young. "To have you in my life was all I ever wanted" sounds like something a child would want from a parent because it is all they know. "No way in hell I could ever comprehend this!" also fits with the idea that Ruby was too young to fully understand what was going on.
