Joseph Coulson III Obituary
As a teenager Joseph developed a love for mechanics and was often found dismantling and rebuilding cars. Joseph was a talented musician and in his early years he was the lead guitarist for the rock band "Mandrake".
Over the years Joseph owned and operated several small businesses. When he moved to Las Vegas, NV he became a HVAC Certified Technician and started his own Heating and Air Conditioning company. After the loss of his son Cody Joe Coulson, he retired to Arizona.
Joseph was a true animal lover and was involved in the rescue of many animals. Included in those rescues was his favorite, a 95 pound pit bull named "Little Dude". Joseph and his sister Penny trapped, fixed and released feral cats. Joseph enjoyed feeding all of the desert critters while watching the sunrise and sunset.
Joseph is survived by his daughter Shonna Cox and her husband Cory Cox, granddaughter Victoria Coulson, nephews Johan Timmer and Brad Mccoll Jr., his two sisters Linda Cahoon and Penny Renfro as well as his brothers J.D. Lytle, Trinh (Tim) Ho and family and Cao Ho and family and his faithful dog Chewbie.
Joseph was a beloved father, grandfather and brother. His presence will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to any animal rescue of your choice.
I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith

I will surely miss my lifelong friend. Funny, talented, loyal, patriotic, musician, loved animals, athletic, were just a few things I will miss about my brother.
We became best friends when the Coulson's moved to 17027 Cantlay St. in Van Nuys. Me and Joe started the first band we were ever in. I could write a book of all great times together and the adventures were shared. I was very close to the whole family and practically live at their home. I was with Bob, Penny and Joe when we attended the Alice Cooper show at The Hollywood Bowl and party at the Rainbow in Hollywood, what a night. Thank's Bob. Until we meet again my dear friend and brother.

I saw him the day before he passed and the thing that I will always remember him saying to me was "I am so proud of her" referring to his daughter Shonna. Thank you for allowing us to help him on his journey.

My uncle Joe took me to my first major league baseball game when I was 5 at Dodger stadium. He was always there to lend a hand when one of my vehicles took a crap. He taught me how to defend my self and throw a punch. Always told me I can achieve greatness if I believed in myself and worked hard for it.
He was such a talented guitarist, when I thought I would play guitar when I was 18, I was practicing alot of songs from Metallica ride the lightning and master of puppets for months still struggling to find the right sound. My uncle Joe comes over and hears me playing, comes in my room and after listening for like a couple minutes. He grabs my guitar and just rips on it like I had Kirk Hammett from Metallica in my room. He was amazing! He played like 4 or 5 songs that day just listening by ear.
My Uncle Joe always knew how to have a good time.
