Share A Memory
Joseph Decker Sr, a devoted husband, father, and proud business owner, passed away peacefully on September 21, 2025, at the age of 80.
 
Born on September 1, 1945, Joe built a life rooted in hard work, dedication, and a deep commitment to his family and craft. He poured his heart into running his successful commercial contracting business, a true labor of love.
 
Known for his tireless work ethic and no-nonsense approach, Joe was a man who got things done and inspired those around him to do the same. His strength, determination, and sharp wit left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
 
Joseph is survived by his beloved wife, Eileen Decker; his son, Joseph Decker Jr., his daughter, Danielle (Decker) Szilli, Linda Berry and grandchildren Kylee Szilli, Edward Berry Jr. and Michael Berry,  his sisters Linda Blincoe and Jackie Rouh. He was a pillar of strength and support for his family, and his legacy will live on in their hearts and lives.
 
A memorial service will be planned at a later date to honor and celebrate his life.
 
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Joseph’s name to the  American Tinnitus Association,  a cause close to his heart.
 
Joseph Decker Sr will be deeply missed, remembered always for his grit, his humor, and the unwavering love he gave to his family.

My greatest memory of my Uncle Ellis was the fact that he was more than an Uncle to me. I looked up to him as a father figure, and that was the way he treated me. He was my mentor and unselfishly taught me a very valuable trade within the construction industry. You will be sorely missed Uncle Ellis……😔🙏

My brother Joe was a conservative man not always shared his feelings of caring to say I love you but in the last seven years I have sent him. The Daily Word told him I loved him and I got I love youse back many times this was the greatest gift I could’ve gotten. I loved him dearly.

Q my brother Joe was always reserved with his feelings. Never really said I love you back when you said you loved him but for the last seven years, I have been sending him the Daily Word and he has told me many times that he loved me that meant more to me than anything in the world. I love him dearly.
