Joe Harold Behrens, 82, of Newton died on Saturday, May 21, 2022, at MercyOne Newton Medical Center.
Joe, the son of Harold and Katheryn (Steinberger) Behrens, was born on January 31, 1940 in Knoxville. As a child, he moved to Newton and later graduated from Newton High School.
Joe and Joyce loved animals of all shapes and sizes. In addition to their Maltese puppies, they also had a long list of exotic animals. Through the years, Joe and Joyce loved to go dancing. They also enjoyed traveling, although Joe would many times get them into quite the “off the beaten path” adventures.
Joe is survived by his wife, Joyce Behrens of Newton; son, Michael (Melinda) Behrens of Missouri; his grandchildren, Elizabeth, Julie, Kylie and David Behrens; brother, Jack (Randa) Behrens of Chicago; and his nephews and niece, Kirk, Scott, Brian, and Kay.
