Joseph Manhardt Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Best Funeral Services Peoria on Sep. 24, 2025.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Joseph Arthur Manhardt III (67), on September

13, 2025, in Phoenix, AZ.

Joe was born in Anniston, Alabama on February 28, 1958. He was a man of remarkable

intelligence, curiosity, and quiet compassion. His wisdom was matched by his humility and

kindness. He had a profound love for animals and was known for his compassion toward them,

often rescuing pets in need, offering them safety, love, and a second chance. His empathy

extended to all living beings, and his kindness left a lasting impression on everyone who knew

him.

In his spare time, he found joy in playing guitar. His presence was a comfort, his mind a marvel,

and his heart a treasure to those fortunate enough to know him. He was deeply loved and will be

dearly missed by his family members.

A service will be held at Best Funeral Services on September 27 th at 11:00 with a reception to

follow.
