Joseph Barry Droskin, age 74, went home with the Lord on Monday, January 27, 2020 in Grand Junction, Colorado. Joe was born on December 6, 1945 in Brooklyn, New York to Morris Droskin and Violet Adamson Droskin. He attended McCook Senior High School in McCook Nebraska and was a graduate of The University of Nebraska, Kearney earning his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration while also serving in the Army National Guard.
Joe was united in holy matrimony to Cheryl Lynn Peterson in 1965. Joe and Cheryl were devoted companions and were blessed with three children. Joe was a loan officer and account manager in the banking industry for 30 years.
Joe’s compassion for others, generosity, kindness, and sense of humor caused him to be loved by many. He dedicated his entire life to helping take care of the people who needed him the most. Even when leukemia and chemo robbed him of most of his strength, he bravely stood tall, helping others to the very end. Now it’s Joe’s turn to be rescued and saved, and Christ the Lord and Savior has finally healed him.
His life will forever be remembered in the lives of his wife Cheryl Droskin, his two living children Craig(JoAnn) Droskin DDS, and Milinda(Garrett) Taylor, and his sister Beth Elliott. Joe’s grandchildren Holly, Ridge, Caelyn, Destin, Kamden, Dakota, Garret, and Abigail will miss him dearly.
Joe was preceded in death by his beloved son, Brad Joseph Droskin; parents, Morris and Violet Droskin; parent in-laws, Alden and Mildred Peterson, and nephew T.A. Bauer.
