Obituary for Joseph Michael Struble
Joseph (Joe) Michael Struble, 44, passed away in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 27th, 2023, in his home, a natural death due to chronic health conditions.
He was born September 4, 1978 to Vincent & Susan Struble at St. Francis Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO. He graduated high school from Billings, MO. and attended trade schools related to welding, heating & air, and machining. He married Orlymar Arias on June 11, 2010, and together they had two beautiful and adored children; Edward is 7, and Matthew is 4.
Joe made his living as owner/operator of a tree trimming/removal business for the last 18 years. Previously to that he worked for Gold Mechanical and WSI. He also had rental properties. For many years he volunteered his services as the maintenance man for Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Springfield MO and continued to help when needed.
He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, Walter & Carolee (Rice) Struble, Richard & Maureen (O’Toole) Schwalie and a few aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Joe is survived by his wife and two children of Springfield, MO, his parents of Willard, MO, 2 brothers and 1 sister: John in the Philippines, David of Billings, MO and Crista Allen of Midlothian, TX as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. He has in-laws and extended family living in the U.S. and Venezuela. Joe also has many friends in the surrounding area.
Joe will be remembered most by how he practiced his Catholic faith with strong morals and values in the treatment of those he was in contact with and knew. He was kind, fair and accommodating to his customers & renters. He was generous of his time and talents and was a compassionate person giving of himself whenever he could. He was truly a “giver”.
When not working, Joe loved to spend time on outdoor activities, playing games, traveling, and staying in contact with friends. Most especially, he enjoyed time spent with his children, his family and attending family gatherings. He was a hard-working, fun-loving man with a great sense of humor and a deep devotion to his children and family members.
Joe will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him. We know that he is now in a better place with our Heavenly Father.
A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:00 am Tuesday, September 5, 2023, in Sacred Heart Church in Springfield with Father Ray Smith officiating, preceding will be a rosary service at 9:00 am. Interment services will follow at Resurrection Cemetery in Springfield. All are welcome to attend a luncheon following the services in the Church Hall.
