His parents, Stanley W. and Harriet G. (Brown) LaBrake welcomed their son into the world on April 5, 1962, in Massena, NY.
A lifelong resident of Troy, NH, Joe was a longtime parishioner of the Immaculate Conception Church in Troy.
Joe enjoyed riding motorcycles, hunting, playing darts and listening to country music. He loved it when the opportunity arose for him to be able to attend a live concert performed by his favorite country artists.
He had a very close bond with his mother and help in caring for her over the years.
He is survived by his mother, Harriet G. LaBrake of Troy, his brothers, Stanley R. LaBrake and his wife, Cindy, of Troy, Stephen J. LaBrake and his wife, Jennifer of NC, Richard W. LaBrake of Keene, NH; his sister-in-law, Lori Thompson, of Keene; his nieces and nephews, Addie Hazen, Andrew LaBrake, Aaron Partridge, Aime LaBrake, Jason LaBrake; and many great-nieces, great-nephews, and extended family members. A niece, Melissa LaBrake, predeceased him.
Services for Joseph will be held privately by the family.
For those who wish, donations may be made in Mr. LaBrake’s memory to Wounded Warrior Project, 370 7th Avenue, Suite 1802, New York, NY 10001.
