Joseph B. Kirkham, 39, of Rushville, Ill., passed away March 30, 2021, at Culbertson Memorial Hospital in Rushville. Joe is survived by his wife Veronica and their children, Trinity age 14 and Kingston age 11.  Anyone who knew Joe recognized that he was one of the kindest, most down to earth people around.  Whether you were his friend, coworker or acquaintance, Joe would treat you with the same respect, generosity and support.  Most important to him was his love for Veronica, Trinity and Kingston.  They meant the world to him and it showed.  

Joe had many passions including studying history and supporting his favorite teams - the St. Louis Blues and St. Louis Cardinals.  We are so thankful Joe got to celebrate the recent St. Louis Blues championship.  He loved to celebrate life and the world is a better place because of him.

Joe has always been there for his family and friends and hopefully we can return that favor by supporting Veronica, Trinity and Kingston.  Please consider giving a gift to support his family and their future.  Even just sharing this fundraiser can can make a huge difference. Thank you for loving Joe and the light he brought into this world.
