JOSEPH W. EISENBEISS  

Joseph W. Eisenbeiss of rural Monticello, Mo., passed away unexpectedly on, April 4, 2023 at the age of 57. Joe was born February 26, 1966 in Quincy, Ill., a son of Bill and Linda Eisenbeiss of Canton, Mo.
Joe is a graduate of Canton High School. As a teenager he began working part time for McRoberts Farms Inc. After graduating he continued to dedicate his life to the McRoberts farm as a full-time employee assisting with all aspects of the farm. In later years as the farm evolved, Joe managed the feeder calf backgrounding operation. Rain or shine, Joe could be found caring for the cattle, baling hay or pushing snow at the farm. He simply loved what he did.

Joe was an avid St. Louis Cardinals and NASCAR fan. In the eyes of his loved ones, he was Smokin’ Joe the BBQ King, always offering to smoke a prime rib for birthday parties or family gatherings. Joe could often be found at “the station” or the feed store enjoying conversation with a community of friends and neighbors. His contagious smile and giving heart will be greatly missed by the Monticello community. Joe was of the Protestant faith.

Survivors include his life companion Laura Geisendorfer and her son Avery Logsdon (Chelsea Wood), father Bill Eisenbeiss, two sisters Jenny Buttig and Jackie Eisenbeiss, sister-in-law Brenna Eisenbeiss, aunts, an uncle, many cousins, and the Geisendorfer family. While Joe had no children of his own, he greatly cared for his many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.

He was preceded in death by his mother, maternal and paternal grandparents, sister Susan Eisenbeiss, brother Stephen Eisenbeiss, brother-in-law Dennis Buttig, and other extended family members.
