Joe L. Holcomb was born on Oct. 22, 1950, in Tahlequah, the son of Johnson and Eliza (Pigeon) Holcomb. He attended school at Tahlequah High School and lived in the Tahlequah area for most of his adult life. A welder by trade, Joe was employed by the Smith Company. When he wasn't working, Joe loved music and playing guitar. He was a singer in the “J.H. Boogie Band,” and wherever he went, if a guitar was present, he began “bending strings.” Joe loved the outdoors and could often be found fishing or hunting arrowheads.

Joe passed from this life on Saturday, April 7, 2012 in Tulsa, with his family by his side. Joe was 61 years old.

Joe is preceded in death by his father; mother; two brothers, Richard Holcomb and Jeff Holcomb; and one sister, Mamie Sue Holcomb.

Those Joe leaves behind include his sons, Joseph Dean Holcomb and wife Misty of Van Buren, Ark., and Jeffrey Scott Holcomb; and one daughter, Angela Fay Holcomb-Newton. Joe leaves three brothers and three sisters: Charlie Holcomb and wife Narcie of Welling, Henry Holcomb and wife Shirley of Briggs, Oly Holcomb and Mary Mose of Welling, Betty Holcomb of Tahlequah, Hazel Holcomb of Welling, and Annie Holcomb and Tim Taylor of Vian. His legacy lives on in his five grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and loved ones.
