He and Jan moved to Bazine Kansas in March of 1994 where they bought a farm and ranch and continued their cattle operation. Joe then did custom baling, and drove school bus for the USD #106. As a loving Husband, Father and Grandpa, he enjoyed fishing, elk, deer, and pheasant hunting, and all sporting events involving his grandchildren, whether it be football, basketball, volleyball or roping and rodeo. He had two daughters Janelle (Brehm) Erven, Scott City, KS and her husband Eric and their three children Justin, of Ridgeway, CO, Calvin, and Jennie. Jodene (Brehm) Johnson, Casper, WY, and her husband Justin and their two boys, Jayden and Jerren. Joe is survived by his wife, daughters, Mother, Louise Teegarden of Boulder, two half brothers Cary and Butch Teegarden both of Longmont, Brother-in-law, John McQuigg of Sedalia, CO, and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Niece and great-Nephew.
Joe was a member of the National Little Britches Rodeo Association for 30+ years and the American Legion Post 392, in addition to numerous other community organizations.

I was a young woman, working in construction for Mountain Bell in the mid 1970s, at a nontraditional Stockman job when Joe was a foreman. His involvement at that time with Little Britches is still vivid in my memory. I was 20 at the time and remember him so vividly. I eventually moved on to different jobs and departments but have not forgotten Joe. I have often thought of Joe and what he went onto, many good things, which I expected him to do.
God Bless you all. Roxana Madrid

I was very sorry to hear about Joe. Some of the most vivid memories I have are growing up as neighbors just NE of Longmont, sharing summer weekends and evenings at the Ride'em-Slide'em arena - enjoying an old-fashioned team roping jackpot. Things have changed since then but Joe's smile is embedded in my memory.
