Joseph “Joe” Wieberg, 62, of Westphalia, passed away on Friday, July 19, 2024, at Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City.
He was born Feb. 26, 1962, a son to the late Gilbert and Corona (Eisterhold) Wieberg in Jefferson City.
He was a 1980 graduate of Fatima High School. Joe proudly served his country in the U.S. Army.
Joe was employed as a lineman with Three Rivers Electric in Linn. After his time with Three Rivers, he became part owner and later manager of Thermocore of Missouri.
Joe enjoyed golfing, gambling, fishing, playing cards, and just spending time with his family and friends. He was known for greeting you with a big smile, a hug and his booming voice.
