Joe Still, Jr., beloved husband, brother, uncle and friend lost his 9 year battle with Alzheimer’s on November 20, 2024.  He was born July 30, 1950 in Marceline, MO to Joe Still and Naomi (Littrell) Still.  Joey graduated from Marceline High School in 1968.  He started work as a summer job on the Santa Fe Railroad in 2010 he retired from the BNSF having completed 42 years of service. 

Joey was one of the kindest souls. He loved meeting new people and made friends wherever he went. He was the life of the party; always telling jokes and making people laugh.  Many of his friendships were lifelong.

Joey was very active physically riding his bike (often up to 50 miles at once); lifting weights, swimming and hiking.  He was the very happiest when he was hiking in the mountains. His wife, Trisha, and he visited one of the National Parks every fall to tackle the trails.  Being out in nature and seeing wildlife in their natural habitat was his favorite thing to do. 

Joey loved to travel visiting Europe several times. The last few visits were to visit his sister Rosie who lived in Germany. 

Joey was proud to be a member of Alcoholics Anonymous and had celebrated 35 years clean & sober in August 2024.

Joey is survived by his wife Trisha, brother Stephen (Jean), sister Renee Westfall (Bill), brother Curtis (Donna) and dozens of nieces & nephews.  He is preceded in death by his parents and his sister Rosie Engles.

Joey’s absence leaves an immeasurable hole in Trisha’s heart and in that of his family & friends.

Selfless to the end, Joey made arrangements a number of years ago for his body to be donated to the University of Kansas willed body program.  There will be no memorial service.  Joey loved wildlife, and very much loved his fur baby cats.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to either Operation WildLife, or to Kitty City Rescue in his memory.
