Joel Little Obituary
Joe had a lifelong curiosity and was intensely interested in what made things work. He enjoyed spending time with family, fellow employees and his cats. His cured olives were a special treat. He worked in both Los Angeles and Fresno. Joe retired from Fresno County in 2016.
He leaves his faithful wife of 36 years and high school sweetheart Sherry Little. Sherry nursed and stood by Joe during his determined and non-complaining fight against cancer. Joe's determination and refusal to allow sickness to define him and the steadfast devotion of wife Sherry is an inspiration to all.
Joe is survived by Theresa Blua of Strathmore, Calif.; Jim and Carmen Little of Roseburg, Ore.; Pearl and Anita Downing of Nampa, Idaho; Jim and Kathy Chavez of Porterville; TJ and Monica Ryan and family; Jacob Little and family of Exeter, Calif.; Robert Chavez and family of Sherwood, Ore.; Andrew Chavez and family of Las Vegas, Nev.; Allen Ayers and family of Roseburg, Ore.; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by parents Stewart and Imogene Little, Andrew Blua, sister Linda Little Wilson, and brother Jerry Little.
