Joseph A. Jagielski Sr.

September 11, 1942 — March 25, 2025

Maumee, Ohio

Joseph A. Jagielski Sr, born on September 11, 1942, in Toledo, Ohio, left this world on March 25, 2025, in Maumee, Ohio. A dedicated family man and a consummate professional, Joseph worked and retired from Chrysler, leaving behind a legacy characterized by hard work and devotion.

Throughout his life, Joseph embodied the spirit of community and mentorship. He took pride in coaching his son's baseball teams, leading them to several championships, and earning the respect and admiration of countless neighborhood children whom he guided and supported. His warm affection extended beyond his home; he was a steadfast presence at his grandchildren’s and great-grandchildren’s sports games, never missing an opportunity to cheer them on.

Joseph’s passions included fishing and breeding and racing pigeons for over 70 years, truly reflecting his love for both nature and sport. He will be remembered not only for these interests but also for the joy he brought to those around him, always welcoming his furry friends, the pigeons, cats named Fireball and Sox, and his cherished dog, Diamond, into his home and heart.

Joseph is survived by his daughter Julie Gill and his sons, Joseph (Jody) Jagielski Jr. and John (Traci) Jagielski. He adored his grandchildren: Miranda (Tyler) Shepherd, Joseph (April) Jagielski III, Alise Bernard, Lacey and Conner Petit, Sageon (Kelsey) Jagielski, Mackenzie Schnapp, and Mason Jagielski. He also cherished his great-grandchildren: Sophia, Cayden, Madalyn, and Noah Shepherd, Amelia, and Ivy Jagielski. Additionally, he is survived by his siblings: John Jagielski, Dorothy Grochowski, Antoinette (Rick) Amaya, and Anthony Jagielski, as well as his sister-in-law, Sherry Jagielski.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Carol Jagielski; his parents, Leo and Dorothy Jagielski; his sister Patricia Vinciczky; his brother Leo Jagielski Jr.; and his siblings-in-laws: Dan Grochowski, Alex Vinciczky, and Noi Jagielski.

A special thank you is extended to everyone who helped and cared for Joseph during this difficult time, especially the nurses, nurse's aides, family and friends. It means the world for the love and compassion that was giving to Joseph.
