Joe Dale Overlease Jr, Miller, MO— Joe Dale Overlease Jr. passed away on November 25, 2024, at his home in Miller, Missouri. Joe, a devoted husband, father, stepfather, grandfather, and friend, is remembered for his deep love for his country, his family, and his passion for breeding Cocker Spaniels.
A proud veteran of the United States Navy, Joe served honorably during the Vietnam War. His dedication to service and his love for his country remained a guiding force throughout his life. In addition to his military service, Joe was known for his work with Cocker Spaniels, having dedicated much of his life to breeding these beloved dogs through Fort Cocker. His passion for Cocker Spaniels was more than a business—it was a labor of love. Joe, along with his late wife Cherri, worked tirelessly to ensure that each puppy they raised found a loving home. Their efforts left a lasting legacy in the Cocker Spaniel community.
Joe’s family, including his sons Mike and Bryan, are committed to continuing the C&J Cocker business in honor of Joe and Cherri’s memory. This endeavor will not only preserve their legacy but also carry forward their shared passion for the dogs they loved so dearly.
In the wake of Joe’s passing and the recent loss of his wife, the family is facing significant financial challenges due to end-of-life expenses and personal debts. To support the family during this difficult time, a GoFundMe campaign has been set up. The funds raised will assist with immediate financial obligations, including debts and funeral costs, and help keep C&J Cocker running in memory of Joe and Cherri.
The community has already shown their support through generous donations, with $710 raised to date. Mike Organ, the fundraiser organizer, expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from those who knew Joe and Cherri, and those who share their passion for Cocker Spaniels.
We extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Joe Dale Overlease Jr. during this heartbreaking time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
