Joe Wallace Sills, a devoted husband, father, son, brother and friend, passed away peacefully on September 28, 2025, at the age of 42. Born on November 4, 1982, in Brownsville, TN.

A proud graduate of the University School of Jackson, Joe Wallace furthered his education by earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee at Martin before embarking on a successful career as an estimator for Collision Specialists in Jackson, TN. His work ethic, coupled with his "Get 'er done" attitude, made him a respected and dependable figure in his field.

Joe Wallace was a man of many interests. First and foremost, Joe Wallace was the spiritual leader of his family. He was an active member of Brownsville Baptist Church. He found joy in spending time in his shop, restoring old cars and trucks, and he often participated in car Shows and attended tractor shows, where he shared his love for these classic machines. He also enjoyed shooting guns, always embracing his hobbies with zeal. His light-hearted spirit shone through in his love for telling jokes and making those around him laugh, leaving a memorable impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Joe Wallace was deeply loved by those he held dear. He is survived by his cherished wife, Amanda Sills, their three beloved children, that he lovingly referred to as his "savages", son Wallace Ford Sills and daughters AveryGrace Lynn Sills and Clara Rains Sills, and his mother, Carol Beck Sills, all of Brownsville, TN. Additionally, he is survived by his father and mother-in-law, James Ray and Nancy Lynn Floyd of Brighton, TN.

Joe Wallace was predeceased by his beloved father, Timothy Rains Sills, Sr., and brother, Timothy Rains Sills, Jr., as well as his paternal grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Joe Wallace Sills, and his maternal grandparents, Charles and Helen Lee and Bill Beck.

His legacy will live on in the laughter and love he shared, his dedicated spirit, and the countless memories left with family and friends. Joe's kindness and attentiveness to everyone he met, alongside his fondness for basset hounds and his cherished Diet Mountain Dews, will always be remembered.

As we remember Joe Wallace Sills, let us celebrate a life devoted to family, laughter, and the simple joys that made his existence remarkable.
