Joe is also survived by his siblings: Mike Bagwell and wife Susan, Scott Bagwell and wife Anne, Stephen Bagwell and wife Gail, and Lisa Bagwell. He will also be missed by his loyal granddog, Beamer. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Barbara "Bobbie" Therrell.
A memorial service to honor Joe's life will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Oakland Baptist Church, 1067 Oakland Ave, Rock Hill, SC 29732. A visitation will follow immediately after the service.
