Joseph "Joe" Lee Argabrite passed away Saturday, October 4, 2025, in Beckley, West Virginia surrounded by his loving family.

Joe was born on May 27, 1967, in Cleveland, Ohio to Ernest and Patricia Argabrite. In 1970, his parents moved from Ohio to their home state and raised their family in Beckley, West Virginia. Joe graduated from Hargrave Military Academy, Chatham, Virginia in 1985. After graduating, Joe got his certification in HVAC. In 2004, he started what is now a very successful business, Air Temp Heating & Cooling Inc.

On June 13, 1987, Joe married the love of his life, Elizabeth "Liz" Seale. A few years later they started their family with a baby girl, Ashley; and then a baby boy, JoeJoe.

Joe was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He loved his family dearly and was always there for his grandchildren. He loved to watch Kyndal play volleyball. (He was her biggest fan). He loved taking Silas on new adventures whether it be on the side by side or to the zoo. Even though he was taken too soon to get to meet Elaina Jo, he already loved her and looked forward to those adventures with her.
Joe never met a stranger and was always ready to lend a helping hand when needed. He will be greatly missed by many. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, fishing and side by side riding. So many cherished memories created traveling with his family and friends over the years.
Joe was preceded in death by his father Ernest Carl Argabrite.
Those left to cherish his memory include, his wife of 38 years, Elizabeth Argabrite; daughter, Ashley Argabrite and son, JoeJoe (Jessica) Argabrite; grandchildren, Kyndal Sims, Silas Argabrite, and Elaina Jo Argabrite; his mother Patricia Sue Argabrite; brothers, Jim (Cindy) Argabrite and Ronnie (Claudette) Argabrite; sisters, Linda (Carl) Reedy and Carol (Gary) Calvert; and many special nieces, nephews, and friends.
