Joseph “Joe” Charles Daniele passed away on March 20, 2025, at the age of 75. Born in Lindsay, California, Joe grew up in Fresno, where he graduated from Fresno High School in 1968. He earned his associate’s degree from Fresno City College in 1975.
In July 1973, he married Donna Shelton. Together they had two daughters. During the Vietnam War era, Joe served honorably in the Air National Guard Reserves. He later enjoyed a long career as a cost accountant at Fruehauf, Floway Pumps, and ended his career as an account clerk with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department.
Joe had a great love for his family, a zest for life, and a love for the outdoors. He found joy camping at the creek, spending time at the family cabin in Shaver Lake, his beloved Labrador dogs, boating, water skiing, riding his Harley Davidson, and target shooting.
He is survived by his daughters, Mia Daniele-Farrell and Sara Daniele-Alcoran; grandchildren Alyssa and Kasey Winning, Emily and Ethan Alcoran, Britton and Katie Farrell; and his great-grandchildren Valencia and Hallie Farrell. He is also survived by his siblings, Dovina Shelton, Frank, James, and Daniel Daniele. Joe was preceded in death by his infant brother, also named Joseph, and his parents, Charles and Viola Holland Daniele.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
