Joseph Markovich Obituary

RIP
Lorraine and Douglas Shelbourne

My dear cousin, I am saddened by your premature passing. God will keep you by His side as you watch over your loved ones. God bless...

I found this poem on my mantle and don't really know where it came from so I thought maybe Joe wanted me to read it. It's titled "Remember What is Most Important" by Vickie M. Worsham.
It's not having everything go right; it's facing whatever goes wrong. It's not being without fear; it's having the determination to go on in spite of it. It's not where you stand, but the direction you're going in. Remember to live just this one day and not add tomorrow's troubles to today's load. Remember that every day ends and brings a new tomorrow full of exciting new things. Love what you do, do the best you can, and always remember how much you are loved.
Thanks Joe, I needed that. Eternal Memory.
Your sister, Patty

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Joe's passing. A fellow chiropractor and Palmer Graduate....we know he will be greatly missed. He touched numerous lives in many ways. God Bless Joe and his family, our sincere prayers are with you. "From Above, Down, Inside, Out." -BJ Palmer....he lived it, he loved it... now he is rewarded and is Above with our Heavenly Father.

There really aren't words to describe my feelings. Joe is one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I will miss him dearly.

Joe and I want to extend our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Joe's family and friends. We cannot imagine the void his loss leaves in your lives. He was always laughing and never had a harsh word. As a college student I was privileged to share the excitement and challenges of life at the Kappa Sigma House @ Wabash College (not as a student but the "girlfriend" who escaped Cincinnati for fun weekend visits and parties) over 35 years ago. I didn't realize at the time that I was in the midst of so many legends in their own right. Athletes, scholars, rich, poor - it didn't matter everyone was there for a variety of reasons and they made it work. We were blessed to reconnect with many of the guys (and spouses and significant others) during the fall reunion of 2008 and how lucky we all were that Joe and Paul were there to share in the memories as well as create new ones. As we all grow older we realize how quickly our lives fly by. I know that Marko would be humbled and amazed and more than anything happy to read the stories, accolades and tributes that have been posted here and his Facebook pages.

I've enclosed a photo of Joe from the Kappa Sig 2008 Reunion. He was always happy to see his fans!

Joe was a gracious friend and a kind, caring mentor. He made our world a better place. I will miss him. My deepest sympathies to his family.

My deepest sympathy to all of you. May your happy memories with Joe keep his spirit alive in each of you. Prayers, love & hugs

When I first met Joe I could tell he was a good athlete scholar and gentleman who showed his good upbringing. He had a big explosive laugh and was fun to be around. Linda and I will miss you Joe! Our deepest sympathies to the Markovich family.

You will be truly missed. Thank you for everything you helped me with. Without you I would not be living my dream, you made me realize what the world had to offer. You and your family are in my prayers.

Joe was a wonderful man - and I and many others no doubt were blessed to have known him. Truly a loss - so soon. He was generous, witty, intelligent and so much fun to be around. A true joy.

His candle burned at both ends, and did not last the night. But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends, it cast a lovely light.

Joe, there is no one that ever met you that could ever forget you. We'll always miss you.

A rare gem of a guy. The world is a richer place for his having lived in it and contributing all that he did. A keen mind and a big heart.

My heart felt sympathy to all. If you need me please feel free to contact me. My prayers are with you. Much love to all Nancy

We offer our deepest sympathies in your loss. Joe was a delightful and uplifting man. May you know the all-encompassing comfort of our Lord. Paul and Arlene Samuels

We'll mis you Joe.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Dr. Joe will be missed.
