With heavy hearts we announce the unexpected loss of
Joeseph Gregory Melnyk
(Roman, Joestiff, Rubes, Stiffalus, Joey, Meat-Man, Moose)
Born: Feb 24, 1988
Passed on: Oct 30, 2020
Born in Armstrong, Feb 24, 1988 and passed on Oct 30, 2020.
He is survived by his loving spouse, Shayne; his parents, Brenda and Kevin; mother in law, Linda; sister, Roxanne; brother, Deryk (Jennifer); sister in law, Crystal (Larry); and his nieces, Aiyana and Amaya.
Joe is also survived by his aunt and uncle, Lisa and Pete; his uncle and auntie, Will and Darlyne, and so many other aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Predeceased by his Granny, Linda (who was a huge part of his life); grandpas, Marcel and John; nephew, Jayden; and cousins, Will, Terry, and Cassandra.
Joe was always a jokester, and he loved nicknames. He called his spouse, Potato, and gave out so many other ones. (Dirky, Spoxy, Peaches, Turkey, Pie-Face)
He had quite the sense of humor and could always make someone laugh, even if it was a bit crude.
He was extremely passionate about video games, and you could always find him playing Final Fantasy, StarCraft, Destiny, or World of Tanks.
Joe had a very strong online presence and he formed many unbreakable bonds with his gaming friends-who will all miss him dearly.
He loved to go hunting with his family, dreaming about cars (specifically a ’73 Challenger), and he loved all his family pets. (Gingy, Mittens, Gizmo, Blue, Maya, Shy, Tiggy, Zeus and so many more.)
Joe will be dearly missed by everyone. His family and close friends will be having a small gathering for him to celebrate his life.
“Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads”
