Joel S. Markus 74, of Lenexa, Kansas, passed away on Sept. 30 at his home.
Graveside services were on Oct. 3 at Mt. Carmel Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the Guardian Society Scholarship Fund or the American Cancer Society.
Joel was born on Oct. 11, 1950, in Kansas City, Missouri to Milton and Ethel Markus. Joel was very proud to serve in the Boy Scouts, reaching the goal of Eagle Scout. He later would be the vice president of UMB Bank and was a manager at DST.
Joel loved to travel. He traveled all over the world, only missing Iceland as one of his last stops. He also loved jazz music — the old kind.
Joel was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his loving wife, Glenna Markus; his sister, Elizabeth Ann Hennick; niece, River Julian Hennick and many dear friends. Online condolences may be left for the family at louismemorialchapel.com.
