Joseph Henry"Jojo" Huber, Iii
March 21, 1955 — July 27, 2015
Joseph H. "JoJo" Huber III, 60, died on July 27, 2015 in Starlight, Indiana. JoJo was born on March 21, 1955 in New Albany to Bonnie (Kruer) Huber Naville and the late Joseph H. Huber Jr., founder of Joe Huber Family Farm and Restaurant. The oldest of five children, he was raised on the family farm in Starlight, Indiana. A 1973 Flaget High School graduate, JoJo went on to earn an Agricultural Economics degree from Purdue University. As an avid entrepreneur, he dedicated his career to the family business, establishing and growing a family-friendly farm and restaurant business for many generations of family visitors to enjoy and create memories.
JoJo was actively involved in the family's support for the WHAS Crusade for Children that his father had started many years ago. He was a lifelong member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, and he engineered the Starlight daylily gardens where the beautiful flowers still bloom daily. Aside from the passion for his family, he loved to escape to island life and any opportunity to captain a boat on open water. He will be greatly missed by so many who loved and knew him; but every time we put our feet in the sand, we will remember him and the love and joy he brought to us.
JoJo married his late wife, Katherine M. "Kathy" Kirchgessner in September of 1974; and in 2008, two years after she lost her long battle with cancer, he assumed the proud role of grandpa to now five grandchildren who became his number one priority in his day-to-day life. During one of his tropical adventures he met a wonderful and loving partner in this mission, Deb Green.
In addition to his mother, Bonnie, JoJo is survived by his significant other, Deb Green; son, Joseph H. Huber IV (Juliana), and daughters, Terra Huber Mahan (Travis) and Jenna Huber Clem (Matt); grandchildren, Clayton Huber, Ava and Jake Mahan, and Mac and Cannon Clem; sisters, Kimberly "Kimmy" Kaiser (Mike) and Beverly Engleman; brothers, Lewis Huber (Katie) and Charles "Chuck" Huber (Tracye); and many relatives and friends. In addition to his father and wife, he is preceded in death by his parents-in-law, Norbert and Marcella Kirchgessner.
His Visitation is 11 AM to 8 PM on Thursday, July 30, 2015 and after 9 AM on Friday at Newcomer Funeral Home (3309 Ballard Lane, New Albany, IN 47150). His Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 AM on Friday at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (8310 St. John's Road, Floyds Knobs, IN 47119) with burial to follow in the church cemetery.
Contributions in his memory may be made to WHAS Crusade for Children Endowment (520 West Chestnut Street, Louisville, KY 40202).
