Joseph (Joe) Francis Maughan Obituary (1962 - 2019)

JOSEPH (JOE) FRANCIS MAUGHAN March 27, 1962 - February 15, 2019 It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Joe Maughan, at age 56. Joe suffered a sudden and fatal heart attack. His family is in shock and we thank you for your prayers. Joe was born at the Holy Cross Hospital in Calgary, Alberta. He was a graduate of Bishop Carroll High School and Gonzaga University. Joe lived in Seattle Washington for the last 25 years, but maintained close contact with many of his Calgary friends and travelled between the two cities frequently. Joe will be fondly remembered for his affable nature, his strong loyalty to family and friends, his giving nature to anyone in need, and his insatiable appetite for sports. If you needed to know any sport stat, or how to watch his beloved Calgary Flames, Stampeders, Zags, Seahawks, Mariners, or Sooners when you were away, Joe was your go-to guy. Joe was a lifetime member of the Glencoe Club, and the Washington Athletic Club, and could often be seen there pumping iron or chatting it up with everyone. Joe was an amazing uncle to each of his nieces and nephews attending their events and games and always staying in close and loving touch with notes such as Birthday wishes, Valentines Day love, and support and encouragement. Joe and Janet found the 'love of their lives' together, and were completely devoted to each other. They loved spending time in their beloved Seattle and vacationing in Scottsdale, AZ where Joe also had numerous cherished friends. We will sorely miss the twinkle in his eye, his warm and loving smile, and great sense of humor. Joe was predeceased by his parents, John and Alice-Marie Maughan; and Janet's mother, Celia Lamson. Joe is survived by his loving wife, Janet; his 5 siblings, John, Brett, Julia, Paula, and Michael, as well as their spouses and children; and Janet's father, Fred Lamson. Joe also leaves behind many extended family and friends who had great affection for him. A Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday February 28th at 11am at St. Anne Catholic Church 1411 1st Ave W, Seattle 98119 Reception to follow at the church.
