Joe Pringle, 53, a longtime resident of Seattle and Vashon, Washington, passed away Friday July 4th after a life filled with love and true joy. He was born on July 6th, 1960 and

in his life he became many wonderful things, a devoted husband of 24 years, and a

father of three, a friend to many, and a faithful follower of Jesus.

His was a story that was surprisingly deep, rich, and inspirational, from being a missionary behind the Iron Curtain, raising children and investing in his family, being a small business owner, and in the past few years being so incredibly faithful in serving his church despite challenging health issues. Joe was most happy when he was with his children, Kyle, Brooke and Emily, and supporting those around him. His generous and gentle spirit lives on in the hearts of those he touched.

His story is in its final act in eternity, and for those of us who have been a part of it, we have an opportunity to help write a fantastic epilogue.

A memorial will be held in the Daniels Recital Hall at Mars Hill Church, 801 5th Ave, Seattle, WA 98104, at 11:00am on Saturday, July 19th. Please join us afterwards for a gathering with family and friends on Vashon Island at the Nespor home at 6:30pm, 9510 SW 268th Street, Vashon Island, WA 98070 to celebrate the life of this wonderful man.
