Roy Joseph (Joe) Kirkpatrick
On July 21, 2024, Joe passed away unexpectedly at the age of 64. He was preceded in death by his father, Roy Kirkpatrick; mother, Nancy Kirkpatrick; father-in-law, Charles Greathouse and mother-in-law, Sue Greathouse.
Joe is survived by his wife, Tracy (married 39 years), his children, Brandon Kirkpatrick, Chaley Garrity (Ethan), grandpup Opal, brother Jim Kirkpatrick (Brenda), Tina Haegele (Mark), Cindy Kirkpatrick (Michelle), and many other nieces, nephews, family and friends.
He started his career with Laclede Gas, where he worked for 15 years and then started his own contracting business which he ran for 20 years.
Joe always enjoyed helping others, but his true passion was his love for his family, always on the go with hockey and soccer with his kids. Traveling with his family was his favorite, especially the Bahamas, Florida and Mexico (even though he really wasn’t a “sun guy”). Mizzou tailgating with great friends was always a highlight as well. He had such a great sense of humor, which he definitely passed on to his children.
A Celebration of Life will be forthcoming at a later date.
So incredibly sorry for your loss 🙏🙏 prayers for your family and friends 🙏🙏.
Ohhhh Tracy~ I am at a complete loss for words….
I can’t begin to express how deeply sorry we are for your devastating loss of your precious Joe.
You and your Family will be in our prayers for the hours, days, weeks and months to come.
May God hold you and give you His strength and comfort thru this extremely difficult journey.
Sending our love, Kurt & Teresa Benkert
