Joe Carroll Kanke Obituary

We are sad to announce that on January 26, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Joe Carroll Kanke of Tenino, Washington, born in Evansville, Indiana. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit. Though Joe Carroll may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, his essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.
