Joseph “Joe” L. Nezovich
October 15, 2015
Joseph “Joe” L. Nezovich passed away on October 13, 2015, at the age of 64. Joe was born in Pensacola on October 13, 1951, to Edward and Maxine Nezovich. Joe spent most of his life as a maintenance repair man and HVAC technician. He lived his early life amongst the heart of Pensacola and it was there that he met his wife of 37 years, Donna. Joe and Donna would eventually move to the far north end of the county to what he would call “his little piece of God’s country.” Joe was a very courteous and loving man, always willing to fix something broken for someone in need. Sometimes that “something” was a physical object, sometimes it was a broken heart or soul. Joe was a “handyman” in many ways and in many lives. He was a caring and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His family was his life. And whether you had known him your whole life, or just met him in passing, he still treated you as family.
Joe was preceded in death by his father, Edward Nezovich; and his children, Kimberly and Joseph Nezovich.
Joe is survived by his wife, Donna; his son, Jody (Taylor) Nezovich; his grandsons, Caleb and Silas Nezovich; his mother, Maxine Nezovich; his three brothers, Edward Nezovich, Pete Nezovich, and Billy (Ann) Nezovich; his two sisters, Nancy Robinson and Dorothy Bivens; numerous nieces and nephews; and several other family members and loved ones.
