Raised in Poland, Ohio, Joe was a 2011 graduate of Poland Seminary High School and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Marketing from Kent State University in 2015.

Extremely artistic, Joe had a passion for art and enjoyed sharing his passion with others. His quick wit and sense of humor that many termed goofy will be fondly remembered by all who were lucky enough to share in the laughter. Joe was defined by all who knew him as loveable, empathetic, kind, compassionate and generous. He brightened the lives of so many. His generosity will continue after his passing.
