With great sadness and the heaviest of hearts, we want to let everyone know that we lost Joe Neuser last night.
Joe was not only an owner of Thirsty Joe’s—he was a cornerstone of our community, a friend to so many, and someone who touched countless lives. He was the kind of person who was always willing to lend a hand, share a story, make someone laugh, and make people feel welcome. Joe was so much more than a business owner. He was family, a friend, a mentor, and a familiar face that so many people will deeply miss.
Thirsty Joe’s was a huge part of Joe’s heart, and the people who walked through our doors meant so much to him. We know this loss will be felt deeply by our staff, our customers, our friends, and our entire community.
We are planning to stay open and keep things going as best we can. We know the days ahead will be difficult, and we truly appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and support as we navigate this heartbreaking time.
