Joe Boling

Joe Udell Boling, age 58, of Green Forest, passed away Wednesday, January 8, 2025, in Branson, MO with family by his side. He was born May 28,1966, in Tulsa, OK to Verne and Vera Middleton Boling.

Joe was truly one of a kind. He was a great man, a great father, and a great brother. Joe loved his children more than anything in this world. Being a father was Joe's proudest accomplishment, and he was a family man over anything. To Joe, family was not just blood. He would do anything for anybody, but he would go above and beyond for those he saw as family. 

Joe was a hard worker his entire life and spent 20+ years as a Farm Manager for Cal-Maine Foods where he loved and respected his coworkers, who became his work family. Joe was also an incredible carpenter whose work was admired by many and lives on in many homes of those he loved. Another of the great loves of Joe's life were horses, even taking his six-weeks-old baby brother out for his first ride.

Joe is survived by his 6 children, 15 grandchildren, 4 siblings, and many nieces and nephews along with their children. He preceded in death by his parents and 1 son.

Anyone who was lucky enough to know this great man was truly blessed. He had the biggest heart you would ever know and definitely made this ugly world a better place. Nothing will ever fill the void that is left with Joe being gone, but he will remain in our hearts forever. Rest in paradise, Mr. Joe Boling. We love and miss you down here. 

Celebration of Life for Joe will be 1:00 PM, Monday, January 13, 2025, at Templo Emanuel in Green Forest with Chris Eagelson officiating. Online condolences can be made at www.smithfamilyfuneralhome.net.
