Joseph Davila Jr., 82, of Westminster, Colorado, passed on July 24, 2021, with his family by his side. He was born in Denver, Colorado on February 22, 1939 to Trina and Joseph Davila Sr. He attended parochial schools as a young student and went to High School at Gardena High in California. He received his Associates Degree in a combined education from El Camino Jr. College and Metro State. Joseph was drafted into the Army and proudly served his country. Joe married his wife Barbara in 1965, and together they had three daughters, Barbara Jo, Christina Diane and Angela Marie. He was a devoted loving husband and best friend to Barbara. Joe has three granddaughters, Kendall Lee, Brittany Christina, Brooklyn Josephina, and two grandsons, Christopher Patrick and Kyle Reed. Joe took so much pride in all of his grandkids and we know will forever be watching over them. Joe was a devoted Catholic and a true family man. He was a self taught drummer and a wonderful artist. He loved good jazz music and an ice cold beer or a good wine. He made the ultimate best Bloody Mary, and he always had time for a good time, was always dressed to a "T" and was truly the hardest working man we knew. He gave it his all his entire life and was so loved. Joe spent his years owning and operating Davila Truck Lines in Golden, Colorado. Upon retirement, he spent his evenings working at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Parish in Broomfield, Colorado. Thankful to have shared his life are wife Barbara, children; Barbara Jo, Christy & Tony, Angela and Bob, his grandchildren; Christopher, Kendall, Brittany, Kyle, and Brooklyn.

Joe will be laid to rest at Fort Logan National Cemetery in a private ceremony for his immediate family.
