Justin Clayton Joseph

Justin Clayton Joseph lost his two year battle with prostate cancer on May 28, 2017. Justin was born on November 23, 1944, in Philadelphia, PA, to Louis Abraham Joseph and Francis Goldman Joseph. His family relocated to Albuquerque, NM, in 1952 where he later attended Highland High School. Justin received his undergraduate degree from the University of New Mexico in 1962.

Justin chose to raise his family and develop his career in Dallas, Texas, and moved to the area in 1967. With a creative mind and an entrepreneurial spirit, he began his multi-media career and developed several companies over his four decades in the industry. He was recognized as a leader in the newly developing field of multi-media and created standards that are still used today.

Throughout his adult life, Justin not only photographed the world through his unique perspective, but took his father’s tools in hand and developed a second career as a craftsman. Justin took these skills and designed some of the most spectacular garden art and home additions that stand as monuments to his talents throughout the Dallas Metroplex.

Moving into his later years, Justin re-invented himself and became a Certified Home Inspector in 2012. He also filled his heart and time teaching and mentoring others within this industry.

Justin was preceded in death by his parents Louis and Francis Joseph and one grandchild, Miracle Patin.

He is survived by his wife, Phyllis Zidell Joseph; daughter, Amber Patin, daughter of Bobbie Joseph; son-in-law, Don Patin; grandson, Preston Patin; son, Lane Allan Joseph, son of Beth Walker; brother, Walter Joseph and sister-in-law, Audrey Joseph, their children, twin nephews, Kevin and Eric Joseph; granddaughter, Katherine Black.

A graveside service will be on Tuesday, May 30, 2017, 1:00 PM at Sparkman/Hillcrest Funeral Home with reception to follow.
