Joseph Ehlers Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 30, 2025.
With profound sorrow and boundless love, we share the passing of Joseph Richard Ehlers, who left this world far too soon, surrounded by those who held him dearest. He was a bright light in the lives of so many-a confident lighthearted man, with unwavering loyalty, rambunctious humor, and friendly spirit.

Joseph is survived by his devoted life partner of nearly 12 years, Marsha Hart. He was the proud and loving father of Calli Ehlers, who was the heart of his world.

Born to Dale Ehlers and Leona O'Hara, Joseph was a cherished son whose intelligence, integrity and zest for life made them endlessly proud. He was a treasured brother to Kurt and Scott Ehlers.

There will be a celebration of life held at Denny's LUX Club, 3050 Asbury Rd, Dubuque, IA 52001 - on FRIDAY September 5th, from 5pm to 8 pm.

Joe had a larger than life personality & never met a stranger. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

My sincere and deepest sympathy! Joe and I were friends at DBQ Senior and I remember the fun and laughs we had as lab partners and classmates. He was a great man and friend. I so very sorry for your loss.
