Retired MSgt. In the United States Air Force

Joe moved to small town USA to live out his retirement dream with his daughter, Amanda. He was a single father that provided to the best of his ability and succeeded greatly at it. He was a master of all trades throughout his life. He was a night owl, working at night with his Tonka trucks that he dreamed about having ever since he was a young kid playing in the sand box. He made the property into his sand box. He became a farmer and grew his own garden every year. He started a horse ranch with his daughter by not being able to say no to purchasing horses whenever his daughter wanted another one. He became a cowboy with his personal mount Budweiser, the Clydesdale and his side kick, Donkey. He was a cat whisperer, and could tame any pet mountain lions we owned. He enjoyed the sound of music performed by Rush on any day of the week. He was an air drummer that could play the drums better than Neil Peart. His favorite stage to perform playing his air drumming was while he was driving with the music cranked up as loud as it would go. He was quite the storyteller and jokester; he could make anyone laugh. Telling stories about his top-secret op missions with the navy seals and his crew. He could lasso a tornado like no one you have ever seen before. He was a gunsmith and the best gunslinger in the west. He was a fisherman, even though his daughter could totally out fish him in their pond. He was a mechanic, even if he didn’t know how to work on something he’d take it apart and cuss at to the best of his ability to put it back together again. His daughter’s foreign made Tiburon got the most colorful of vocabulary when he worked on it. He was a biker, and we all know his coolness level on that. He rode in on the spirit of his custom built chopper to the gates of Valhalla because let’s face it; Joe is obviously in Viking heaven. He was an all-around badass that could conquer any task at hand. Out of all the things listed here that Joe was good at there are no words in any form of language to describe how great of a dad he was. He loved his daughter and son and was proud of them both no matter the circumstances. From the 22 years he spent with his daughter he left beyond the funniest and fondest of memories. Joe made friends anywhere he went and had the best of friends in his life that had his back until the end and beyond. Joe Dragos lived a very happy life and would have wanted to thank each and every one of you reading this for being a part of his life.
