It is with deep love and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joseph Wilson, a devoted father, loving fiancé, and cherished son, on January 29, 2025, at the age of 31. Born in Hutzel Hospital to Charles and Lori, Joseph's life was one of laughter, hard work, and deep devotion to his family.
Growing up in Detroit, Joseph was known for his vibrant energy, boundless strength, and undeniable spirit. Just 11 months apart from his sister Lindsay, they shared a bond that only siblings could understand-one of love, rivalry, and unwavering support.
Joseph's love for sports started early. From the moment he began playing football at the age of ten, it was clear that his dedication and competitive nature would lead him to great achievements. Throughout his youth, Joseph earned trophies that symbolized his commitment, and as a wrestler at Annapolis High School, he proudly wore his hard-earned medallions.
But Joseph's greatest accomplishments were found off the field. As a hardworking, independent family man, he was a protector to those he loved, especially to his fiancé, Kaytlyn, and their two beautiful children, Paisley and Preston. Watching Joseph become a dad was one of life's purest joys-he was a constant source of love, strength, and laughter. There was no one whose laugh could light up a room the way Joey's did. It was infectious, genuine, and always filled with the kind of joy that could turn an ordinary day into something special. Joey and his mother built a relationship rooted in love, respect, and an incredible sense of loyalty. A true "Momma's Boy" in the best sense of the term. Joey wore that title with pride. His heart, always anchored in the warmth and strength of the unwavering relationship they shared. Joseph's big heart, his endless determination, and his deep love for his family made him unforgettable.
Joey is survived by his loving parents Charles and Lori. Beloved fiancé Kaytlyn, adored children Paisley and Preston. Sincerely missed by his caring brother Jeremy and sister Lindsay. Cherished uncle to Cashimere.
