Joseph Edward Asay was born Saturday, June 12, 1954 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Verl and LaVaun Asay, and spent most of his life in the Taylorsville area.
Joe graduated from Cottonwood High School in 1972 and from Salt Lake Community College. He also attended the University of Utah.
Joe married the love of his life and his best friend, Arlene Wolf, on November 14, 1975, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They resided on Quailbrook Drive in Taylorsville.
Joe was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He faithfully served in many callings in his church including: cub master, young men's president, varsity coach, counselor in the bishopric, high counselor, high priest group leader, and physical facilities assistant.
He was known to many in his family and around the neighborhood as "Conductor Joe" because of his great love for trains. He was lovingly called "Papa Choo Choo" by his grandsons, and with the help of his family and good friends he built two trains for them to enjoy together.
Joe was employed by the University of Utah Medical Center for over twenty years and worked with many wonderful people. He had the ability to put a smile on many faces with his sense of humor and will be greatly missed.
