Ervin Brandt Obituary
Ervin Joseph "Joey" Brandt
February 15, 1982-December 20, 2021
WAUCOMA-Ervin Joseph "Joey" Brandt, age 39, passed away unexpectedly on December 20th, 2021, at his home in Waucoma, IA. Ervin Joseph was born February 15, 1982 to Ervin Joseph Moyer and Diane Marie Brandt of Waterloo Iowa. Joey left school to help raise his two younger siblings Christopher Brandt and Jeremy Aschbrenner.
Joey loved all things outdoors, including fishing, tractor pulls and horses. He dabbled in bull riding in his younger years and still attended many rodeos. Joey was a fan of the Wisconsin Badgers and was proud of it. He was an amazing cook and loved to grill and made the best ribs anyone ever tasted. There wasn't much he couldn't cook. Joey enjoyed the time he spent with his soul mate, Heidi Kriener, going to horse shows, horseback riding, rodeos and many other activities. He also loved to play innocent jokes on his friends and family. Joey was an old-fashioned country boy with a deep love for old country music, especially George Jones, Waylon Jennings and Charlie Pride. He enjoyed his job at Dolly's Transport as a mechanic at Wheelchair and Stretcher Service where he had worked for the past seven years. He was a devout Christian and his favorite poem was "Cowboy is His Name" from the movie 8 seconds.
Joey is survived by his father, Ervin Joseph Moyer of Waterloo, Iowa; step-father, Doug Aschbrenner; three brothers, Christopher Brandt; sister-n-law, Rolana Brandt of Altoona, Iowa, Jeremy Aschbrenner and sister-n-law Shannon Hartley of Hazleton, Iowa and Cory Finn of Waterloo, Iowa ; two sisters, Kerrie Moyer of Columbia, Missouri and Kellie Stevens of Des Moines, Iowa; three daughters, Shelby Brandt of Waterloo, Iowa, Brooklyn Brandt of Waterloo, Iowa and Lydia Brandt of Readlyn, Iowa; his Rose in Paradise, Heidi Kriener of Waucoma, Iowa; niece and nephew, Savannah and Carson Aschbrenner of Waterloo, Iowa; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
