Born on November 28, 1962, Joe lived a life full of love, hard work, and devotion to his family and friends. He had a remarkable ability to make people feel valued and heard, always ready with a story, a joke, or a helping hand. His passions included going on adventures with his wife, Susan, working on cars, being a devoted and loving dad and grandfather, and spending time with his family and 2 dogs, Cookie and Little Girl. He had a special gift for bringing joy to those around him, always making sure everyone had a smile on their face. Throughout his life, he shared a deep and enduring friendship with his best friend, whose support and companionship remained an important part of his journey, and he will be remembered for his strength, resilience, generosity, and humor.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Garland and Anna Sue, brother, Barry, and granddaughter, Jordyn.
