Joseph Suiter Obituary

Joseph Dylan Suiter, 26 of Delaware, died unexpectedly Wednesday, July 9, 2025. He was born July 31, 1998 in Columbus. He had worked for Kroger and Valvoline as a manager and had also driven for DoorDash. Joseph was truly one of the kindest and sweetest souls one could ever encounter, with a heart larger than life. At a moment's notice, he was always ready to help a friend, family or stranger alike. Without hesitation or expectation, day or night, he showed up to lend a helping hand, offer a listening ear or just simply his presence when you needed it most. Joseph loved riding his motorcycles, hacky sacking, skateboarding, airplanes and working on cars, but most of all, he loved to spend time with his friends and family. Joseph has been our family's rock for years - steadily holding us together with his one-of-a-kind smile and the biggest hugs. He was taken far too early and will be sorely missed by all. He is survived by his mother, Michelle M. (Stevenson) Suiter, Conway, SC; his sister, Kara (Nathan) Fyffe, Virginia Beach, Va.; brothers, Tyler (Jennifer) Suiter, Marysville; Logan M. Suiter, Conway, SC. He is also survived by his maternal grandmother, Lois Armstrong of Mansfield, his special friend, Megan Smart of Delaware and countless friends who he considered his extended family. He was preceded in death by his dad, in 2017. Services Celebrating Joseph's Life will be held Thursday July 17, 2025 at 6:00 pm at the Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home in Richwood. Dr. Dean Goon will officiate. Friends may call one hour prior to the service beginning at 5:00 pm at the funeral home in Richwood. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a scholarship fund that Joseph established for his twin nieces, Madison and Mattelyn Suiter. Donations payable in person to Michelle Suiter (or Venmo@Michelle-Suiter-2).

Joseph was one of my first true best friends who showed me unconditional love. Life got ahold of us and we drifted apart and that will forever be one of my biggest regrets in life. Will miss you everyday Joe. I love you.
