November 03, 1956 - October 13, 2021
Joe Piper was born November 3, 1956 in Wichita, Kansas and passed away October 13, 2021 after a brief illness.
After graduating from Chisholm High School in 1974, he joined the US Air Force in July 1975. He proudly served his country for twenty years.
In July 1982, Joe married Kathy Jo Gebur. They recently celebrated thirty-nine years together.
Joe was always such a hard worker. It wasn’t uncommon for him to work three jobs at once, always wanting to provide for his family. He was known to race at Enid Speedway, worked at Oakwood Bowl for several years and began working at Stevens Ford in April 2006, where he was an automotive repair technician. Joe always made sure everything was taken care of at the dealership. He was still working there at the time of his death.
Joe was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren. He touched the hearts of many people and was always willing to help anyone in need. But those that knew him best also knew he liked to joke and pulled many pranks over the years. He especially enjoyed getting together with friends, in any type of clever costume, to take on a bowling challenge.
Joe is survived by his loving wife, Kathy; children, Derick, Sam and Tiffany; six grandchildren and countless other family and friends.
