Joseph D. Soboleski

Joseph D. Soboleski, 76, passed away at home on Tuesday, December 10th, 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer.

He was born on January 6, 1948 in Erie, Pennsylvania to Frank and Betty Soboleski. Joe is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Debbie; son Brent Soboleski (Lori) and daughter Renee Brown.
Joe is also blessed by 3 beloved grandchildren: Riley Soboleski and Van and Drew Brown. Joe is survived by his 5 siblings: Frank; Tom (Linda); Carol Williams; Betty Coughlin (Dennis); and twin-brother John (Sharon); along with many beloved nieces and nephews.

Joe graduated from McDowell High School in 1966 and served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. Joe was honorably discharged in May 1969. Joe was a "jack-of-all-trades". Joe has worked in construction, IT, and radio sales, but spent the majority of his career in automotive sales, managing, and finance.

Joe loved his family and friends and loved to make people laugh. He could be seen walking the neighborhood in a Santa costume on Christmas Day or wearing a gorilla suit on Halloween. Joe was always the first to arrive to a party and always the first to leave. When not with family and friends, you could find Joe on his Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Joe will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, where full military honors will be rendered. The family will have a Celebration of Life for Joe in the coming year.

Although Joe is gone, he will live in our hearts forever.
