Joseph Poole Obituary
Joe was passionate about many things, his love for makeup and beauty brought him to cosmetology school where his natural talents for this work truly flourished. He was an entertainer as well as an entrepreneur. He enjoyed making those around him laugh, usually to the point of crying, with his quick-witted jokes. His smile would brighten any room he walked into. Every morning he woke up it was always with a song in his heart. Joe was a kind soul that was always ready to help someone in need. He was passionate about several charities that were close to his him, such as the Western Maine Homeless Outreach. Family was very important to Joe, he defined this as anyone whom he gave his love too.
He is survived by his mother, Rachel L. Mello of Waterboro and his father, Joseph F. Poole of Gorham. Also by his siblings, Rebecca Passino of Waterboro, Christopher Poole of Saco and his two younger siblings, Liliana and Parker Poole; as well as his nana, Joanna Mallia of Portland and his grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Herman Poole of Old Town. He is also survived by his aunts, uncles and cousins that he was close to; as well as his longtime partner, Dustin Harrison of Lewiston.
He was predeceased by his grandmother Irene M. Poole of Westbrook and his great-aunt Sheila Rolfe of Westbrook.
His family would like to thank the amazing staff at Maine Medical Center (Cardiac Unit) as well as the incredible staff at the Gosnell House, where they provided loving care and made Joe's last days comfortable.
