Joseph Paul Stevens was born on May 2, 1986 in Grinnell, Iowa to Gary and Pamela (Hemby) Stevens. He was raised and educated in Grinnell.
Joe was united in marriage to Candace Wilson on July 26, 2019 in Marshalltown, Iowa. They resided in Grinnell and Joe worked at various business in and around Grinnell such as Priority Plastics and Natural Products.
Joe's enjoyments were going for motorcycle rides, camping and sitting around a camp fire, fishing, and most of all he loved anything that involved being with his family. He will be remembered for being a dare devil, for his loyalty, and for being the protector of his family.
