Joseph Edward Downing Obituary

We are sad to announce that on October 29, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Joseph Edward Downing of Greenville, North Carolina. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact Joseph had on those he encountered along his journey. Though Joseph may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, his essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Joseph Edward Downing, Sr. and Louise Downing McGinty. He is survived by: his daughter Emily Downing Nock (Daniel); his granddaughters, Maggie Elizabeth and Hadlee Lynn; his former wife Vickie Downing; and his sister Sandy Barber.

In lieu of flowers, have a drink, think of Joe, watch a sunset, take in a full moon, and save your money because as Frank would say "I did it myyyy way.".
