Joe worked many years as a highly skilled concrete finisher. His favorite season was Fall, mainly because of his love for the Dallas Cowboys, College football and Thanksgiving (food). He never missed a good boxing match, and enjoyed watching wrestling back when they were real. his all-time favorite show was Sanford and Son. He self proclaimed himself "King of Dominoes". He loved to play his music loudly (just ask his neighbors). They say you can't have a favorite family member, but to Joe his grandson Christian Davis was his pride and joy. He will definitely be missed by all who knew and loved him dearly. Rest in peace Dad!

Private family only, funeral service will be held at the First Baptist Church in Marfa, Texas at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 21, 2020.
