Joseph passed away on August 1, 2012 at Kindred Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. Joseph succumbed to cardiac arrest. He is survived by his wives Betty, Grace, and Marlene; his children Joseph, Juana, Cecelia, Harold, Josephine, Michael, and David; his sister Mary Lou; his grandchildren, Melissa, Mia, Nila, Gina, Jimmy, Sydney, Joseph, and Michael; his great grandchildren; and host of other family and friends. Services were held at Palm Northwest Mortuary in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Joseph was the kind of person who could win others over easily. A concrete communicator, he relied on his senses to increase his involvement and awareness of others. He was always able to provide amusing repartee to his friends and acquaintances, offering a seemingly endless supply of quips, anecdotes, jokes and stories. If Joseph had a theme song written about him, it might well have been “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” He enjoyed his life and the experience of living it. This is how everyone will remember Joseph Theodore Gibson.
