Joe Barcelos Obituary
May 5, 1960 - February 9, 2022
Fresno, California - Joe Barcelos was born May 5, 1960 and passed into the arms of the Lord on February 9, 2022. His parents were Diego and Joanne Barcelos. He grew up in Kerman, California on the dairy his family owned. When the dairy was sold, he farmed the land with his father and brother.
He met the love of his life Kim Findley and they were married in 1982. They had three children, Jared, Justin, and Rachel.
Joe earned a bachelor's degree from National University and went to work for Kerman State Bank. He finished his career as the Business Manager for the North Central Fire District where he worked for 21 years.
Joe loved the Lord and served Him through several Christian ministries which included Walk to Emmaus and Kairos Prison ministries.
He enjoyed golf and fishing, but his favorite thing to do was spend time with his family, especially his three precious grandchildren, Annie, Everett, and Cora. They were the light of his world.
Anyone fortunate enough to have known Joe describe him as gentle, soft-spoken, kind, generous, and a friend to everyone. He never said no when asked to help and went the extra mile to make sure that things were done right.
His children knew he would do anything for them and was never further than a phone call away. He supported them in everything they did and his faith and work ethic continue to be an inspiration to them.
This July, Joe and Kim would have celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.
He was preceded in death by his brother Michael Barcelos and his mother Joanne Barcelos. He is survived by his father Diego Barcelos, sisters Kathy Halstead and Judy Barcelos, wife Kim, son Jared and his wife Emily, son Justin and his wife Marissa, daughter Rachel Barcelos and grandchildren Annie, Everett, and Cora.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 at 11:00 am at College Church of Christ, 1284 E. Bullard Ave., Fresno, CA 93710. The family has requested for those attending to please wear a mask.

I am absolutely stunned at Joe´s sudden passing. He was a wonderful human being and man of God. One of the most sincere and caring persons I´ve ever met. I have great memories of all the many Bible studies we had together. I offer my sincere sympathy and condolences to Kim and their children. It is a sad time for everyone who knew him, but there is good news, he was a faithful disciple of Christ and is now with our Lord.
