Joseph "Joe" Nedbal died unexpectedly at home on May 6th, 2016 in Magnolia, TX at the age of 50.

Joe is survived by his wife Mary, son Joseph and wife Kelly, daughter Laura, daughter Elizabeth and husband Julian, and grandchildren Cameron and Bella. He is preceded in death by his mother Marilyn and father Anthony, of Naperville, IL.

Joe was born on October 16th, 1965 in Berwyn, IL to Marilyn and Anthony. He graduated from Wyoming Technical Institute in 1983 with a degree in automotive systems. He was very proud of his 4.0gpa and perfect attendance while at WyoTech. He married Mary Stockhausen, the love of his life in 1985. After moving back to Naperville, IL, Joe began working for McAuliffe Buick/Mazda. After a back injury sidelined him from working on cars he applied his knowledge to the auto insurance industry. He led multiple Catastrophe teams in North Dakota, Kansas, and Minnesota. He worked his way up to management and eventually participated in the fraud investigation unit.

When he was not working, Joe absolutely loved to fish and spend time with his family. He was passionate about wood working and tinkering. He could often be found in either the garage at the family's home in Naperville or their "basement" turned wood shop. He was often able to fix anything and came to be known as a 'Joe' of ALL trades. Joe was known for his quick wit and infectious humor and will be sorely missed.

A memorial service is scheduled for 2:00pm May 10 th , 2016 at Klein Funeral Homes and Memorial Park, with a reception to follow. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Joe's life. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.
