He married 3 times and fathers 6 children; Trevor, Zachary, Jodi, Abigail, Little Joe and Olivia. In 2018 he became a grandfather, to his first grandchild, Ian
Joe was an avid fisherman; loved camping, boating, hunting and he loved the Seahawks! He enjoyed spending time with his family too. He worked as a Journeyman Ironworker for the Local 86, 14 and 29; with his most recent project being the Dupertail Bridge as the Superintendent.
Joe will be remembered by his quirky sense of humor, the love for his family and the ability to spin an unbelievable fishing tale.

In Loving Memory of Joe, Blue Friday attire is encouraged.
Happy Birthday Joe. This seems like the place to go to leave you messages. We celebrated with you(in our minds) yesterday at Ty’s. Ate some burgers and had shots! You are so missed! please keep looking out for us down here. Oh and if you don’t mind keep the Seahawks from messing up big time this year. I am counting on you to put your hands on the ball from up there to make touchdown happen. Please tell mom we love her and give buddy a hug for us! Until next year Donkey! love your sis, Sherry
It’s Been almost two years, I miss you more now than I did when you decide to go fishing in heaven!! I listen to your voice mails and watch all the crazy videos we have you. I miss your voice and your wicked grin! I am at peace knowing you are no longer hurting and you are up there with all the loved ones from the family and buddy.
You are terribly missed little bro!
See ya later!
Over the years our sibling instinct to love, protect and want to throttle each other never changed. Younger we had a wrestling match or two, squabbles over chores or a t.v. channel and in the last few years its was more serious differences finished with words & distance.
We were born children of God and he gave his heart to Jesus when he was 15, I never forgot this. His goodness kept on showing through despite the whiskey and stubbornness. We all saw his love for us at different times. It’s been a long 3 years on an unfortunate scenic route of self destruction for him to be ready and accepting of help….but he got there.
It was an honor to be there with my little brother, hold his hand, get a few rules broken for him and know he looked me in the eye, listened & trusted me to protect him from extended suffering. And I most definitely will “see you later”. Love Your Sister
Joe is way to young to be gone already! My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole Bravenec family. Sending you peace and a big ole hug.
I know Joe through his family and he was a great man always clowning around and having a good time it was just the kind of man he was always knew how to keep you smiling your going to be missed ..
I got to Work Alside Joe as A fellow Ironworker Better then that We were buddies and friends I will truly miss my friend and Buddy

But I know you’re with grandma & probably enjoying being pain free… look over all of us.. life seems to be missing the “ goofy “ and the “ fun “ since you been gone.. shine some light on us, we need it💙
