1974 Roar R. L. Turner High School Carrollton, Dallas Co., Texas Senior

OBITUARY   Joseph Edward Oliver January 17, 1956 - December 17, 2024 Joseph "Joe" E. Oliver of Highland Village, Texas peacefully left his earthly body on December 17, 2024 surrounded by his loved ones after a long and courageous battle with cancer at age 68. Joe was born on January 17, 1956 in Dallas, Texas to parents Edward and Peggy Perry Oliver of Carrollton, Texas, who preceded him in death. He graduated from RL Turner in 1974. After graduating from high school Joe went on to work as a sales representative for Hauserman in Dallas. He then held a few interesting jobs that fueled his creativity including working as service technician for Continental Office Supplies and Business Interiors and as a carpenter for TW Designs and Wisteria in Dallas. He later founded and operated Deal Me in Casino Parties in the metroplex area. Joe was also involved in the community coaching many years of softball for his daughter Catherine, serving as the Vice President for the Perry Cemetery in Carrollton and volunteering for the Special Olympics. Never one to slow down, Joe was a man whose humor, quick wit and presence could always be counted on. He was a constant source of strength, wisdom and generosity. Whether it was telling a funny story or joke, fixing an appliance, building furniture or offering his hand to help anyone in need, Joe was the go-to person. No task project was too great or too small; his hands were always busy mending, building and giving. His love for family, big heart and the ability to make everyone laugh was unmatched. He is survived by his wife Della of 43 years and daughters Catherine Oliver (fiancé Joseph Hathcock), Amber Creswell and DeAnna McDearmont, son-law Scott, grandchildren Kaitlyn Mac and Morgan, his sister Fancy Tanner and brother-in-law Mike and numerous beloved extended family and friends. Though his soul has left his body, his humor, spirit of service and selflessness remains to all who knew and loved him. In his life, he taught those around him the value of hard work, perseverance and kindness. Joe’s legacy lives on in every task he completed, every problem solved and every life touched. Visitation will be held at Dalton and Son in Lewisville, Texas on December 20, 2024 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. There will be a graveside service following at Perry Cemetery in Carrollton, Texas. Scott McDearmont will officiate the service. Pallbearers include Joseph Hathcock, Jesse Miller, Jeremy Miller, Steve Kuzmich, Steve Cortez and Chet Gray. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the historical Perry Cemetery Association at 2114 Antibes Drive, Carrollton, TX 75006.
