Harold Joe

Harold Joe, a beloved son, brother, and father, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2025, in  Albuquerque, New Mexico, leaving a legacy of artistry, passion, and love for the Cowboy way of life. Born on October 1, 1964, Harold embraced his heritage as a member of the Salt People Clan for the Black Streak of the Forest People Clan, a proud reflection of his deep connection to both culture and community.

As a talented artist and silversmith, Harold expressed his creativity through his stunning works, each piece telling a story drawn from his experiences and love for life.

He was preceded in death by his loving mother, Katherine Joe, father John Joe, sister Bernita Williams, and brother Harry Abeita,  several nieces and nephews, and his uncle, whose memory will live on in the hearts of his family. Harold's loss is felt deeply, but his spirit remains vibrant in the lives he touched and the art he created.
