Joe Lewis Pack, 85, of South Charleston, WV, went to be with the Lord Friday, October 9, 2020 at his home.
After graduating from Duval High School in 1953, Joe served 1 year with the FBI. He also served his country as a member of the West Virginia Army National Guard for 6 years. He retired as a salesman in Wholesale Distribution. Joe was a member of Bible Center Church, Charleston, WV.
Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Basil and Grace Nelson Pack; daughter, Joy Pack; brothers, Greg, Donald, Leo, and Bob; and sister, Barbara Tygart.
He is survived by the love of his life, Ethel Moore Pack; sons, Mark (Frances), Kevin (Samantha), and Barry; brothers, Bill (Dixie), Ronnie (Betty); sister, Peggy Miller; grandchildren, Kelly, Nikki, Ryan, Tyler, Andrew, Madison and Owen; and great grandchildren, Hazel, Calvin, Nora, Caden and Ann Marie.
Due to the pandemic, a private graveside service for immediate family will be held at Graceland Memorial Park, South Charleston, WV, with former Bible Center Church Pastor Robert Spradling and current Senior Pastor Matt Friend officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Joe’s memory to Appalachian Bible College, 161 College Drive, Mount Hope WV, 25880.
I will miss this sweet spirit. I enjoyed speaking with him everytime he called for assistance with His rental properties. My heart is broken.
I first met Joe Pack at a party at Everett Moore’s in Dec. 1972. (That’s when I first saw Joy, too.) Joe put the very meaning to Christian servant, and I was glad all these years just to be his friend. It was good to see him in Sunday school a few times before he left this life. One of the best thoughts I have is to know that when I get to heaven Joe and Joy will be there with us forever. Meanwhile I ask the Lord to take care of Ethel and all the family. I will miss him highly.

Ethel, my prayers are with you. I always had a great respect for Joe as a roll model. We tried to help each other and our mission trips together were a pleasure. He will be missed.
One of God’s best. I once told Joe, “I want you to pray always for me because your prayers are so powerful.” His prayers were so powerful! Now he is in the very presence of the One he served. Ethel, Mark, Kevin and Barry, my thoughts and prayers are for comfort and peace. God bless you all.
Only good memories associated with Brother Joe and his family = Moore inlaws…. Glad that there will be a reunion. Prays have been prayed for his family. Rev. 14:13 Glenn and Fleta

Sorry to hear of the passing of Joe. Praying for Ethel and the family during this time.
It was so sad to hear of Joe’s passing. I’ve been a close friend of the family since I was a teenager. Joe and Ethel always made me feel a part of the family and always welcome in their home. I will miss Joe for sure, but know that he is in a better place now, probably holding hands with Joy! My thoughts and prayers for Ethel, Mark, Kevin, Barry, and the entire family. Love, Dave
Thanks Dave for your kind words.
