Joseph Champlin Obituary

Joseph Paul Champlin

June 5, 1961 - May 12, 2025

Elverta, California - In Memory of Joseph Paul Champlin.

June 5th, 1961-May 12th, 2025.

Joe passed away after living life fully and on his own terms, including his brave battle with cancer. He loved the outdoors, especially fishing and if he caught the biggest fish, you'd definitely hear about it (more than once).

He is survived by his mother, Margaret Champlin; his seven brothers, Mike, Jack, Jamie, Chuck, Jeff, Sam, Robert and his sister, Paula. Joe was deeply loved by his many nieces and nephews, with whom he always enjoyed spending time with during family gatherings.

He will be remembered for his independent spirit, his love of the simple things, and the lasting impression he left on everyone who knew him.

Rest in peace, Joe.
