Joe passed unexpectedly and the age of 35 in a vehicle accident on April 7, 2018. He lived a life filled with humor, wit, and a passion for building anything he set his mind to. Joe was talented in many ways, in addition to being capable of building whatever he wanted, he could play any instrument and sing any song. Joe loved driving his dune buggy, his jeep and riding his motorcycle. He started divisions of Octane Outlaws Association for the riding he loved. He had so many friends that we wonder how he had the time for everyone, but he made the time somehow and affected many lives in the process. Joe loved people, he very seldom told anyone no. He would talk to anyone and was a friend to all, from all walks of life. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. If Joe could say it today, he would encourage you to hug the ones you love often, you never know when your last chance may be.

A celebration of life will be held for Joe on April 21, 2018 from noon to 5:00pm at:
Red Lion Hotel

    Your memory will never fade Joseph. You will forever remain in the hearts of all of us whom had the privilege to know your beautiful soul. Loss is never easy and yours certainly hit harder than expected, but it's comforting to see all the love and support from the many walks of life you've crossed paths with. Our shared memories of you all have one thing in common; you were just simply amazing and had a heart so big and full of gold. Thank you, Brad and LaRee for blessing this world with your beautiful son. My deepest condolences to you and your entire family. We love you and we are here for you.

  5. Stefani Martynuik says:

    I didn't know Joe that well, but my husband Jason worked with Joe for two years at Hopsteiner and still works with Jon. I've heard all the silly stories about Joe and what a character he was. My husband always had a smile on his face when he would come home and tell me a story that Joe told him or something they did together. He was great company at the Christmas parties and always made me laugh. He touched so many people's lives in a short time. He will be missed. My DEEPEST condolences to the Clack Family.

    As time passes may the of fond memories become greater than that of sorrow.
    While no word can erase the pain you are feeling now, allow God promises that are guarantee to come true, to give you inner peace and strength to cope with the days ahead.
    John 3:16 Acts 24:15 Psalm 37:29

  8. George says:

    I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family. I know this loss must be difficult for you all. May you find real comfort knowing that God is "close to the broken-hearted ". This beautiful assurance that God cares about us is found in the Bible at Psalms 34:18. With sympathy, George.

  9. Margie Kroker says:

    I send my love and prayers to the Clack family for the loss of their precious Joe. He was always very kind to me and had a willingness to offer help when needed. When I was looking for a truck, he test drove and checked out my Dodge Dakota to make sure it was a worthwhile purchase. That kindness seems to be a Clack family trait. I am honored to have known Joe since he was a little guy knocking on my camper door at the coast, asking for marshmallows; until he became a man that was admired by many. Sing with the angels, Joe! May the Clack family be surrounded by the love and prayers of all who knew him.

  10. Johnson Funeral Home Staff says:

    Some families you meet and they forever stay in your heart and mind. That is Joe's family. We are so sorry for this difficult loss. Our prayers of healing are with the family and all of his numerous friends. Rest in peace.
