Joseph departed this life on Saturday, June 15, 2019 in the arms of his wife and surrounded by his family after an exhaustive and brave battle with cancer. Joseph was a 2005 graduate of St. John Vianney High School where he was a 2004 and 2005 State Volleyball Champion and received a scholarship to play at Lindenwood University. After college, Joseph became a successful small business owner in the St. Louis area before moving to Collierville, TN with his family.

He is also survived by his grandmother, Helen Lashley, parents, Gerri (Kostecki) Lashley, James Lashley, his siblings, Jennifer (Brad) Singletary, Joshua (Dana) Lashley, Julia Lashley, his nieces, Emma and Hannah, and his nephews, Andrew and Teddy.
