Joe passed away peacefully in November 2020 with family and friends by his side after a long, hard-fought battle with stage-four pancreatic cancer. His strong faith combined with his will to live kept him alive for 15 months – longer than most with his diagnosis. Joe was a gifted singer/songwriter and musician, co-producing two albums with two-time Grammy Award-winning engineer/producer Glenn Barratt of Morningstar Studios. Joe’s Christian music is an eclectic blend of country, blues, and good old-fashion rock & roll. He had a passion for electric sounds and, as a deep man of faith, his lyrics have a message of hope, grace and redemption. During his last six years he focused on playing his original music for folks in Christian coffee houses, churches, shelters, and recovery and inner-city ministries. Joe will be remembered for his unbridled passion for the Lord, generosity, easy-going nature, and his dry sense of humor.
