Born on March 2, 1935, in Mountain View, MO, Joe was a lifelong farmer who devoted many years to working the land.

Dodd, all of Knobel; his brother, Tom (Inez) Dodd; sisters, Irene Smith, Edna (Glen) Booth, and Wilma Morgan; grandchildren, Brian, Amber, Scott, Christie, Blake, Kaitlin, James, Karen, Ashley, Megan, Tyler, Alex, and Rhett; several great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ida; his parents, Ethan and Vera (Frisk) Dodd; grandson, Daniel Wayne Dodd; granddaughter, Jeri Lynn Dodd; and great-grandson, Gage Dodd.
