Joseph Marques Obituary

Joseph Marques 2/28/1938 - 4/7/2011 Joe was the loving husband to Lynn for 50 years. He was the proud father of Joe (Sandie), Ray, Teresa (Steven), James (Carmen), Kathy, Amy, Danny (Nicole), Vicki (Chuck), Nathan (Jessy), Meghann, Katelynn and Andrew. He took great joy in his 21 grandchildren and his first great-grandchild. He is also survived by his sister, Gloria Merck; her three children and her two grandsons. He was a simple man who worked hard for his family and was satisfied with the basics of everyday life. He retired from T.E.P. in 2001 and enjoyed every moment of every day. He was a faithful servant of Jehovah for 40 years and we take comfort in the assured hope of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29). A Memorial Service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 11261 E. Tanque Verde Road on Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Worldwide Work or a favorite charity. Arrangements by HUDGEL'S SWAN FUNERAL HOME.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Hi, I am a JEHOVAH WITNESS myself and I know how hard it is to lose a faithful brother and a family member in death. But we do know that JEHOVAH GOD and his son JESUS CHRIST are going to bring back our love ones. But we should thankful for the hope JEHOVAH has promised all of his faithful people. Please know matter how hard times get, always remain faithful in the truth because we know this system is winding on down and we need JEHOVAH and JESUS to come and rescue us from this wicked and ungodly world. I thank you for taking the time to read this note and I will remember your family in prayer.
