Joseph Wayne Strickland

May 4, 1947 — June 4, 2025

Joseph Wayne Strickland, 78, of Alvin passed away on June 4, 2025, with his family by his side. Joe began his life journey on May 4, 1947, in Mobile, Alabama, when he was born to Victor J. and Alice Lorraine (Gibson) Strickland, but soon thereafter made their way to Texas. Joe met the love of his life, Sherry Anne Coats, and they were wed on July 23, 1966, at Calvary Baptist Church in Angleton.

He was a member of the DVJ Mechanical Equipment Service Journeyman Local 211. His favorite pastime was playing golf or being outdoors practicing his swing.

Joe (Pa Pa Joe) will be deeply missed by all. He was the fun grandpa that loved playing with all the grandkids, because he was a kid at heart himself. He loved his family dearly. Most of all he loved and cherished his wife of fifty-eight years, Sherry. Joe and Sherry spent all their time together – visiting, traveling, and just enjoying each other.

Those that preceded him in death include his parents Victor J. and Alice Strickland and his father-in-law Charles Russell.

Left to treasure his memory is his wife Sherry Anne Strickland of Alvin; mother-in-law, Great-great grandmother Anne Russell of Angleton; children: Vince Strickland and wife Denise of Angleton, Joanne McWhorter and husband Danny of Angleton, and Jason Strickland and wife Natasha of Pearland; siblings: Vicky Kellen of Alvin, Phyllis Hatcher and husband Wayne of Bryan, Neil Strickland and wife Janie of Raymond. MS, Renthia Strickland of Pensacola, FL, Alfred Strickland of Kirbyville; grandchildren: Brittany McGill and husband Marshall, Chase Strickland, Heather Dannhaus and husband Jared, Lauren Ashley Strickland, and Jessica Erin Strickland; great grandchildren: Hunter, Holly, Hayden, and Hudson McGill, and Jace Dannhaus; and numerous other family members and friends.
