Obituary

Heaven gained an angel, but the world lost a friend, brother, son, and uncle. Joseph Mann Propst passed away Sunday morning, December 22, 2024, just 11 days past his 40th birthday. Joe was loved by all... well, most, and had the uncanny ability to connect and befriend those from all walks of life. As the youngest of three boys, he was as tough as they come, a fearless competitor, and a loyal brother. He lived life on the edge, constantly pushing the limits on what society considers the norm. From an early age, Joe displayed a style all his own. This continued through adulthood with his love for cars, clothes, and tattoos. School was never Joe's strong suit, yet he was smart enough to write his own legal brief that regained his freedom.

In the end, the demons that chase us all caught up to Joe and his lifestyle. He has left a hole in our hearts that cannot be filled. The feelings of anger, sadness, and guilt will hopefully fade, but he will forever be missed!

Joe is survived by his mother Paula Smith Propst, two brother Robert and Jonathan Propst, sister-in-law Jessica Merrifield Propst, niece and nephew Leighton and Grayson Propst and two dogs Munchie and Peaches.  

Arrangements for a celebration of life and proper send-off are scheduled for Saturday January 18, 2025 at 3:00PM.

To the Propst Family: My deepest condolences to my dear, sweet friend Paula, Robert, Jonathan and family. My prayers are that God’s speed will grant you all the strength to get through this difficult time. Let nothing separate you from your creator, for he is with you, even though he may seem distant he is there. Reflect only on the good times. If there’s anything I can do to assist in anyway, I am more than willing and happy to do so. Much love.

Joseph (Joe)
you were the son I never gave birth to; but always loved as though I did. You and my son, Terrance met in the six grade. From that point on, we were bonded. You, me (mama, Melba) Terrance, Lonnie, Anthony, and later on your godson, Amir Joseph. A bond that would never be broken. Your memories will always live on in our hearts. Rest in eternal peace my son. You earned your wings. Fly high. #weallwillforeverloveyou
