Joseph Allen Fusie

Joseph Fusie, 77, of Lebanon, Missouri passed away in the early hours of June 10th, 2026. Born in 1948 he spent his early childhood and young adult life in Missouri. He joined the Army in 1967 and was deployed to Vietnam where he served his country with pride and distiction before being wounded in action. He was honorably discharged in 1970, and stayed a staunch supporter of the armed forces. You could always count on Joe to raise up the American flag, and POW/MIA flag at his home and the campground while away.

Camping, fishing, and watching NASCAR races were some of his favorite activities, but his pride and joy was always spending time doing these things with his family. He taught all of his kids many life lessons and imparted knowledge to them ranging from fixing and maintaining vehicles, woodworking, electrical, plumbing, and a host of others.

He is preceded in death by both his biological parents as well as his adoptive parents. He leaves behind his wife: Kathy Fusie. Two daughters: Jezica Fusie and Stacey. Four step-children: Crystal Milburn, Thomas Vincent, Kassie Ryan(Jesse Ryan), and Shane Cramer(Elizabeth Cramer). His grandkids: Aiden, Brantley, Cooper, and Crew; as well as a grandchild by marriage, Karrington.  And others who will miss his presence in their lives. 

Visitation will begin at 9:30 AM, followed by the funeral at 10:30 AM, Friday, June 20, 2026 at Smith North Little Rock Funeral Home.  Interment with military honors will follow at the AR State Veterans Cemetery, North Little Rock.
