Joseph John Sebik, Jr. passed away on Sunday, November 19, 2023 after a brief illness. Visitation will be
on Friday, December 15, 2023 from 5 -7 pm at OakCrest Funeral Home, 4520 Bosque Blvd. in Waco,
TX.  The Rosary will be prayed at 6 pm.

A memorial mass is scheduled for Saturday, December 16, 2023 at 10:30 am at St. Louis Catholic
Church, 2001 N. 25th St. in Waco, TX, with Father Ryan Higdon officiating.

Joe was born February 27, 1954 in Waco to Joseph John Sebik, Sr. and Stacy Sebik.  He attended St.
Mary’s School before graduating from Reicher Catholic High School, a proud alumnus of the class of
1973.   After high school Joe attended MCC and then his much-loved alma mater, the University of
Alabama.  Joe was a life-long, die-hard Crimson Tide fan, and anyone who knew him even casually had
no doubt of that.

On May 21, 1982 he married Kim Koester and they welcomed their much loved daughter, Haley Jo, in
1990.   It is fair to say that no one adored their daughter quite like Joe did his “Bug”, as he affectionately
referred to her.

When Joe was not watching Alabama beat up on every team in the nation or having his weekly
breakfasts with dear friends, he was attending Mass at St. Louis Catholic Church, where he was a faithful
and devoted member for at least 50 years. He participated as an usher and attended numerous ACTS
retreats as well as That Man is You fellowship meetings.

Another huge part of Joe’s life was officiating high school football, which he did passionately for over 20
seasons.

Friends will miss Joe’s outgoing nature and warm disposition. He was a friend to all who met him, and it
was hard to not enjoy time spent with Joe.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Joe Sr. and Stacy.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Kim, and beloved daughter, Haley Neal and her husband, Madison.

Honorary pallbearers will include Tom Ash, Greg McCrary, Paul “Smiley” Smajstrla, Larry Holub, Larry
Juricek, Dan Juricek, James Colunga, and Rick Moss.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Joe’s name to St. Louis Catholic
Church.
