He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Arthur & Anna Bell Packard of Broken Bow, Ok and Odie Albin & Corda Elizabeth Youngblood of Atoka, Ok; parents, Benny Joe & Dauphene Ann Youngblood; and brothers, Benny Keith Youngblood, Artie Robert Chancellor, BJ Youngblood, and James Russell Chancellor.

Joe grew up in Atoka and Stringtown, OK and went to school in Atoka. Joe was an avid outdoorsman. He loved to hunt, fish, ride motorcycles and camp out. Joe had an infectious smile and enjoyed a laugh with anyone he met. Anything to put a smile on your face or give a laugh made him happy. As an animal lover, Joe could train the most unusual pets, he once had a pet turtle whom his friend took home with him on several occasions, but the turtle kept coming back home to Joe. As he grew into a young man and most of his life, he worked very closely with his dad, Ben, repairing and rebuilding engines until dad passed away. Joe eventually made his way to Urbana, MO, where he called home for the past 20 years.

Even though he was far from us in distance he was never far from our hearts. His brother, Clifton, sister, Belinda, Uncle Gene and Aunt Bobbie were blessed to be able to spend the last 48 hours with Joe reminiscing about life. He talked much about family and how very much he missed them. Joe knew The Lord and worked very hard over the past ten years growing his relationship with HIM. We love and will miss him dearly and we look forward to meeting him again someday in heaven!
