Joe worked various jobs and was always good with his hands. His last job with High Country Beverage allowed him to be close to home and help with his family. His focus was his wife and children, being a good dad and husband, dedicated to their well-being.

He loved his Harley motorcycle, had an eclectic appreciation for music, was a swordsman and enjoyed medieval reenactment, shooting targets and karaoke. He loved hard and wanted the best for his wife and kids.

Joe was a part of the TAF men’s group at Flatirons Church in Lafayette before moving further north to Johnstown and had joined a Veteran’s group in Berthoud this past summer. They attended Life Bridge Church in Longmont.

Thankful to have shared his life are his wife, Suzanne, and their five children, Dax, Jake, Eva, West and Cora; his parents, Billy Palmer and Shannon Riley; and a sister, Denise (Josh) Anderson. He was preceded in death by his brother, Christopher Neal Palmer, on July 2, 2020.

Joe’s Life Celebration will be held from 2-4 p.m. November 23 at the Johnstown United Methodist Church, where stories, pictures, music and fellowship will be shared. Military honors will commence at 2 p.m. Memorial gifts may be made to “Stillwater Ranch” in care of Young’s Funeral Service, 102 E. Charlotte Street, Johnstown, CO 80534.
