Joseph J. Lueck
16 de noviembre de 1971 -

Joe Lueck always marched to his own drummer, so it will come as no surprise to those who knew him that he was adamant his obituary should read, "Joe Lueck is dead." He also hated obituaries that didn't include a cause of death, so we are saddened to announce that Joe succumbed to liver failure after a long illness on Saturday, August 16, 2025. He was 53.
Joe was a born tinkerer and a jack of all trades. If something was broken, he wanted to know how it worked and how to put it back together again-usually better than before. He had a special love for vintage televisions, happily coaxing them back to life even when they were found on the curb. As a teenager, he even replaced the engine in his car, a feat that set the tone for a lifetime of ingenuity.
He is survived by his father, Robert Lueck of Park City, IL; his mother, Susan Lueck of Kenosha; his brother, Jeffery "Chip" Lueck of Kenosha; his sister, Jennifer Lueck of Kenosha; and his beloved "Auntie Betty" Lueck of Kenosha, who was always like a second mother to him.
Memorial services honoring Joe’s life will be held privately.

agosto 22, 2025Joe was truly one of a kind. He brought a unique energy to the workweek—always making things more interesting and fun. He had a way of casually sharing quirky stories or surprising details about his life that would leave you amazed, wondering how you'd never heard them before. Joe will be remembered with great fondness and missed deeply by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

agosto 22, 2025To Joe, my dear friend,
I don't know whatever I would've done without you or will do without you going forward. You helped me out with so many things in so many ways where I couldn't help myself. You were a better friend to me than I ever was to you and I will miss you dearly. Rest in the arms of Jesus now. Until we meet again in heaven.

21 de agosto de 2025Oh my goodness I was so sad to hear this! I worked with Joe for many years at SuperValu and just recently again at UNFI. He called me on Teams when he saw my name come up in the directory! He said “I was so pleased to see you name - I work here too”. This is so sad - life is short. My sincere condolences to the family!

21 de agosto de 2025Joe was a great friend. I worked with Joe for many years, even when our department was split up, we still talked every day or IM'd each other. Yes, he loved to fix things, they are many memories of Joe on the weekends when it was slow finding things to fix. Many good memories of outside work activities also. He will be greatly missed.
My thoughts and prayers for the family,

20 de agosto de 2025I'm so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I remember him from the 1980s, with fondness, as Chip's younger brother. He introduced me to video games -- a first for me -- and I think of him every time I hear one of those classic games mentioned. He was so easy to be around. My heart goes out to you all.
