Joseph Reisinger Obituary
Joseph "Joe" Raymond Reisinger, of West Lafayette, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. He was 36.
He was born to Raymond and Margaret "Peggy" (Johnston) Reisinger, on October 14, 1980, in Joliet, IL and they survive him.
Joe was a self-taught "Jack of all trades". If you needed something fixed, Joe could fix it. If a rescue animal needed shelter and love, Joe was there to help. Joe Reisinger was a good man. He loved his family unconditionally, he enjoyed being outdoors, listening to classic rock and country music, he was kindhearted and genuine. While his time here was short, the impact he had on people was extremely special. Joe would literally give anyone the shirt off his back if they needed it. Joe loved giving those closest to him nicknames. Joe will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Joe is also survived by 2 sons, Jordan Reisinger and Joshua Reisinger of Kankakee IL. Also surviving is a brother, James Loucks of Kankakee IL; sisters, Lori Gooding of Lafayette, Jackie Bonner-Beaulieu of Coal City, IL, and Joy Miller (Companion Joe Erskine) of Lafayette; nephews, Devin, Stephen, Justin, and Jimmy; nieces, Danielle and Amber; aunts and uncles, Barb LaChappell, Dave and Lynn Johnston, Mike Johnston, Mike Reisinger, Carla Reisinger, and Jan Reisinger; and several cousins.
