Joe grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, He always loved being outdoors. He had a love for animals, working with his hands, storytelling, and landscaping. Most of all he loved his family, his sisters, his brothers, and all his nephews and nieces. Joe touched many lives and never knew a stranger. He was number 8 of 10 kids and he was the second oldest of the brothers. Joe truly had a servant’s heart and a soft smile.  He could never tell a person no, and if he didn’t know how to do it, he would figure it out.  It would sometimes take him hours and hours, but he would figure it out. He was loved by everyone that met him and is going to be greatly missed by many.
