It's with heavy hearts we say goodbye to Joseph Marckel. Loving son, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, nephew and godfather. Joe was an avid Ohio State fan and loved a good game of euchre and his Harley. He always had his wallet chained to his pocket along with his comb. He was never without them.
Throughout the years, Joe brought home every stray pet he found and his parents never denied him. He kept them all and loved them as his own. In his early years, Joe worked for Collingwood Linen and later at the Jeep plant until his accident in 1986.
Joe is survived by his children, Joseph (Nikki) Marckel, Chad Marckel and Nichole (James) Kowalski; brother, Mike Marckel; sisters, Kim (Dale) Terry Lou (Rick); grandchildren, Katrina, Braydon, Brittany, Zoey, Hunter and Quinn. Also surviving are many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
A special thank you to his aunt Bev for everything she has done for Joe. You are a true blessing. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Brittany; parents, Wayne and Terri Marckel; grandparents, Ed and Alice Bell and Charles and Alta Marckel.
Friends and family will be received at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4752 Heatherdowns Blvd., Toledo on Saturday, December 23, 2023 from 12:00 PM-3:00 PM. A celebration of Life will begin at 3 PM immediately following visitation.
