Joseph Theodore Billias, age 48, of Lynn, entered into rest on Monday, August 24, 2020. He was the devoted father of Robert Soden of New Hampshire, Joseph Billias, Jr and his fiancée Katie Collins of New Hampshire, Athena Billias of New Hampshire, and the late Dustin Lemelin of Maine
Born on August 25, 1971 in Lynn, MA, he was a beloved son of Carolyn Landry Billias of Marblehead, and the late Theodore Billias. Joe grew up in Lynn, graduated from Lynn English High School, and later moved to New Hampshire to raise his family.
Joe honorably served in the United States Army for 8 years, and is a decorated hero for his role during the Panama Campaign. He was a gearhead at heart and worked as shop manager and senior service advisor. Among his many achievements, his award for being ranked in the Top 5% of service advisors in the country, was one he was particularly proud of. He took his job seriously, but brought joy to not only the work, but those he served as well. Joe truly loved going to work every day. When he wasn’t working, he adored his dog, his motorcycle, and spending time with his cherished loved ones. Above all else though, Joe loved life, and living it to the absolute fullest.
Along with his beloved children, Joe is survived by his grandchildren, Jack, Isabella, Elliot, and Lilith; his siblings, Christine (Canning) and her husband Lew Tedstone of Hudson, MA, Edmund Canning and his wife Bobbielee of Tennessee, Nicole (Billias) and her husband Michael Hicks of Hudson, MA, and Costa Billias and his wife Brianna of Nahant, MA.
