Joseph Bernard Klucewich

Joseph Bernard Klucewich passed away January 13, 2025 in Casper, Wyoming--surrounded by family, co-workers and friends who loved him--as a result of complications of diabetes. Joe was born April 4, 1961 in La Mesa, California. 

In 1979 Joe graduated from Granite Hills High School in El Cajon and moved with the family to Hamilton, Montana.  Joe attended the University of Montana on a full ride scholarship from 1980-1984, then went on to complete a Masters in Special Education.  During the next 10 years Joe would be part of football, coaching teams at the University of Missouri, University of Montana, Rocky Mountain College and Carroll College in Montana, and teach Special Ed at schools in Corvallis and Missoula.

When he was 34 Joe felt a need in his soul and began attending the Gospel meetings he’d been invited to. He made his choice to serve God in 1995. In 1996, when Joe heard a call to God’s ministry he answered with his life. Joe was active 28 years serving in the ministry--until he passed away.
