Joseph (Joe) Eugene Stone

Joe passed away peacefully with his beloved wife, Wynn, by his side and under the care of the amazing people at Sarah House in Santa Barbara, CA on Jan. 8, 2025. Joe was born on December 14, 1951, to the late, Joseph and Ruth Stone. He leaves behind his children Joe Stone, Dustin Stone, and Jason Redwood, 3 sisters, 10 cherished grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Joe received his A&P license and started a long career as an aircraft mechanic. He worked around the world, specializing in large commercial airliner avionics. Those who knew him were in awe of his ability to understand how things work, his clever and resourceful approach to problem solving, and the magical way in which he could fix, build, and create almost anything. He saw potential in everything and could (and regularly did) create “something out of nothing.”

He was a beautiful, gentle man who loved his family. He quietly and humbly led by example and used his talents and creativity to teach, help, and inspire those around him.

The memories he created for us all are abundant and everlasting, and his legacy will continue to inspire us. A Celebration of Life for Joe will be held on March 2 in Santa Barbara, CA. For more information, please contact wynnstone@gmail.com.
