Joseph Barber

Joseph P. Barber (Joey), of Floral City, passed away suddenly on Saturday, August 3, 2024. He was 44. Joey was born in Erie, PA to Daniel and Mary (Genberg) Barber. He moved down to Florida with his parents and his brother when he was sixteen, and has been here ever since. He loved working with heavy equipment, hence his occupation as a heavy equipment operator. Joey was never scared to take on the jobs that no one else wanted to do. He also loved working on cars and cooking, with smoking and barbequing as his specialties.
Joey was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather David Genberg, Sr., his paternal grandparents Harold and Gertrude Barber, and grandson, Kaycen. He is survived by his children Andrew, Joseph Jr. (JR), and Zoey Barber; his parents Dan and Mary Barber; his brother Michael Barber; his maternal grandmother Lucille Genberg; and his grandchildren Braycen, Braylin, and Emersyn. A celebration of Joey’s life will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2024 at 11:00am at the Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home chapel, with a visitation one hour prior to service.
Arrangements are under the care of Chas. E. Davis Funeral Home with Cremation Care, 3075 S. Florida Avenue, Inverness, FL 34450.
