Joseph Benjamin Hall

October 3, 1941 - October 10, 2025

Joseph Benjamin Hall, age 84, of Beaverdam, Virginia, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, October 10, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Ruth Christine Hall. Joseph is survived by his devoted children, Rebecca Byiers, Shirley Price, Joseph Hall Sr., David Hall Sr., and Brenda Wright; 11 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren. He is also survived by three sisters, three brothers, and a host of extended family and friends who loved him dearly.

Joseph was a hardworking man throughout his life. He dedicated more than 20 years of service to J.H. Knighton Lumber Company, where his strong work ethic and love for working in the woods were well known. He took great pride in his work and cherished the simple joys it brought him.

Above all, Joseph was a loving husband, father, "Papa," brother, uncle, and friend to many. His kindness, dedication, and strength will forever be remembered by all who knew him.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to James River Hospice of Chesterfield for their care and compassion.
