Joseph Basile III

Joseph Charles Basile III, “Joe,” was discovered deceased from an extended illness during a wellness check on April 28, 2020. Joe was the beloved son of Judith Ann Basile-Clark, of Charleston, W.Va,, and the late Doctor Joseph Charles Basile II. In addition to his earthly father, Joe was also predeceased by his sister, Julia Basile Canterbury, Grandparents Carroll and Delcie Jackson and Joseph and Bethea Basile. A nephew Joshua Lacy Canterbury survives.

Joe was a scholar overcoming dyslexia and achieving honorable status as a proud graduate of both George Washington High School, in Charleston, W.Va., and the University of Central Florida, in Orlando, where he earned an engineering degree. Joe worked as a civilian contractor on projects for the military in the United States and abroad.

Joe was an honorable, kind, respectful man in all undertakings. He gave his best. He will be greatly missed by his friends, relatives and neighbors both in Florida and West Virginia. Joe will be buried next to his father in Fairmont.

Waldon Funeral Home of Orlando is assisting the family with arrangements. Due to the COVID-19 virus, a memorial service is planned at a later date.
