Joseph Karr Obituary

Joseph Karr Jr.
January 31, 1961 - February 12, 2021
Modesto, California - Joseph Lee Karr Jr, 60, of Sacramento, CA passed away on February 12th after a 3 year long battle with kidney cancer. Joe served 13 years in the United States Navy before graduating from University of Phoenix and becoming an IT Network Administrator. He was a very happy man that enjoyed waking up to his family everyday. Just like he dealt with all experience in life, he managed his illness with the tenacity and diligence, and he wanted to spend as much time with his loved ones as possible. On his final day, he was with his wife Gloria and his son Joe, who he loved more than anything else.

I am so sad to hear of the news of Joe's passing. We met in high school and formed two rock bands together. Joe - I hope you are rocking them god up there.
