Joe Charles Hale of Fowler, Colorado, passed away peacefully at home on October 25, 2025, at the age of 76. Born on January 11, 1949, in Clarksville, Texas, Joe was the beloved son of Charlie and Ruth Hale.
Joe is survived by his devoted wife of thirty-four years, Katherine Hale; his daughters, Crystal (and Calvin) Roe of Evans, Georgia, Rochelle Infante of Aurora, Colorado, and Rachael Infante of Fowler, Colorado; and his cherished grandchildren: Elisabeth, Ayden, Tristan, Keagan Roe, Tyler Sipnefski, Anthony Lujan, Jessiqua Lujan, and Andrew Lujan. He also leaves behind his great-granddaughter, Rose Lujan; his sister Diane (and Alvin) Jackson of Mill Springs, North Carolina; his niece Cynthia (and Merlin) Thomas of Surprise, Arizona; and numerous nieces and nephews. Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Ruth Hale, and his brothers Calvin Ray, and Donald Franklen Hale.
Joe's life was marked by hard work, love, and a passion for the open road. As a truck driver for many years, he was known for his fondness of classic cars and his big rigs adorned with chrome. Joe took pride in tinkering with his vehicles, always striving to make them faster and better. He found joy and freedom behind the wheel and treasured every journey.
Above all, Joe was a loving husband and a dedicated father. He was the kind of friend who would always stand by your side, offering support and kindness whenever it was needed. His presence, warmth, and generosity will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
A celebration of Joe's life will be held October 29, 2025 at theVFW Post 8898 in Boone, Colorado
