Joseph Turk

March 29, 1954 — July 13, 2025

Joseph Edward Turk, age 71, of Macon, passed away on July 13, 2025. A celebration of his life will be held on Satruday, July 19, at 2:30 PM, in the chapel of FairHaven Funeral Home with Pastor Phil Skelton officiating. The family will greet friends one hour prior to service time.

Joey was born on March 29, 1954, in Middle Georgia. He was a dedicated small engine and airplane mechanic, a loving husband, and a proud father. His favorite role in life, though, was Papa. Known for his steady hands and sharp mind, Joey spent his life fixing what others couldn't—whether it was an engine or a hard day. He found joy in his work, pride in his family, and peace in the simple moments. Joey's quiet strength, generous spirit, and love for the outdoors will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Joey was preceded in death by his father, Joseph F Turk and sister Kathy.

Left to cherish Joey's memory are his wife, Janice Turk; children, Josh Turk, Jessica Duke, and William Duke; granddaughter, Kimber Duke; mother, Edna Kight; sister, Pam Woodard; brother-in-laws, Wayne Martin and Hayward Kight; and many loved nieces and nephews.
