It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joe Bailey—a beloved husband, brother, father, and Grandpa—who lived life on his own terms, with the wind at his back and love in his heart.

Joe was a true free spirit, most at peace on the open road with the rumble of his Harley beneath him. To many, he was a tough guy—strong, steady, and unshaken by life’s storms. But those who truly knew Joe understood the depth of his kindness, his quiet thoughtfulness, and the way he showed love through his actions more than words.

As a husband, Joe was devoted and loyal. As a father, he was a guiding force—teaching strength, resilience, and independence. As a Grandpa, he was a source of warmth, laughter, and unforgettable memories. As a brother, he was both a protector and a friend—someone who would always stand by your side.

Joe had a way of making people feel seen and valued, whether through a simple gesture, a shared ride, or just his presence. He lived fully, loved deeply, and left behind a legacy of strength, freedom, and unwavering love for his family.

Though he may no longer ride beside us, his spirit lives on in every mile we travel, every story we share, and every moment we hold close.

Joe Bailey will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Marie lived to celebrate her 103rd birthday and witnessed amazing change and history. She grew up during the Depression, worked in one of the world’s largest hangars where planes were being built during World War II, and later moved to Florida where she could watch distant space launches from outside her home. She was a loving mother, active in the PTA, always engaged and supportive. For most of her working life, she was a secretary, serving as executive secretary to two millionaire businessmen before retiring at age 81 to move to Nevada with her daughter Tori. Marie was a vibrant spirit who loved to have fun. She spent time as a Red Hat Lady. She enjoyed traveling, trying new restaurants, baseball and being with all kinds of people. Her faith was her anchor and she said not worrying is the key to a long life. She put her trust in God our Father and is home with Him now and forever.
