Joseph Concetto Buttle
October 24, 1956 ~ October 23, 2025
Born in:
Harvey, Illinois
Resided in:
Steubenville, Ohio
Joseph Concetto Buttle, 68, of Steubenville, OH, entered into eternal rest on Thursday, October 23, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.
Born in Harvey, Illinois, Joe called many places home over the years — from Las Vegas to Colorado Springs, and finally Ohio.
At 18, Joe began working at Silver State Disposal, where he dedicated more than two decades of service. It was during cosmetology school that he met his beloved wife, Stacey, beginning what would become a 42-year marriage that could only be described as extraordinary.
In the years that followed, Joe felt a deep call to serve God more intentionally. He attended Franciscan University of Steubenville, earning his degree in Theology and Catechetics, and began working toward his master’s. His studies and faith led him to the State of Washington, where he served several parishes as a Pastoral Assistant for Faith Formation (PAFF).
Joe loved being outdoors, going for walks, and spending time with his family. From a young age, he had a passion for music and enjoyed sharing songs, stories, and laughter. His interests were vast — fishing, bird watching, reading, studying the Bible, following politics, and delighting others with practical jokes and clever puns. He was never bored with life, finding joy in whatever he did, especially playing with his grandchildren.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Stacey Buttle; his son, Joseph Buttle (Monica), and Joseph’s two children, Jackson and Vincent; his daughter, Jenna Mort, and her six children, Isaac, Caleb, Treyson, Dominic, Olivia, and Levi; his mother-in-law, Patricia Norman; his brother, Don (Diane) Buttle; his sister, Eileen (Kevin) Sechrist; and many nieces and nephews.
Joe will be remembered for his humility, deep faith, creative spirit, and boundless love for others. His laughter, kindness, and wisdom will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Though his presence will be deeply missed, his family takes comfort in knowing he is now home — resting in the peace of Christ.
Friends and relatives will be received on Friday, October 31, 2025, at the Greco – Hertnick Funeral Home 3219 Main Street Weirton from 2 PM until 4 PM.
Immediately following the visitation on Friday a Parastas Service led by Fr. Luke Iyenger will be conducted at 4 PM in the funeral home.
A Blessing Service will be held on Saturday November 1, 2025, at 8:30 AM at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home 3219 Main Street Weirton, WV followed by a Funeral Liturgy at Saint Mary’s Byzantine Catholic Church, 3116 Elm Street Weirton, WV at 9:00 AM on Saturday.
Rev. Fr. Luke Iyenger will preside.

A true story to share,
Joe and Stacy had a Catholic bookstore in Las Vegas Nevada. Called the mustard seed. I went in to buy a statue of Jesus. I came out with a statue of Blessed Virgin Mary. Joe was helping me and I walked through the shop and I told him I wanted a statue of Jesus that I didn’t see any on display. He said to me”Jesus doesn’t sell”that statement has stayed with me for over 27 years the length of time I have known him and Stacy what a prophetic statement that was and still is in our world today… Love and miss you Stacey
My first memory… Sam said his coworker Joe might stop by and say hi at your work tonight…. I thought to myself… WHY…… When I met him and talked to him I knew WHY……….. From then on we were friends with Joe and Stacy. Joe was a rare individual who accepted people for who they are……He had a way of making everyone feel safe and accepted. Shine on BEAUTIFUL SOUL……
Stacey and family,
Although I only knew Joe for a little over 4 1/2 years, to know Joe was to love him. We somehow were able to communicate even under the difficult circumstances. During our walks, I got to know Joe more and more each day and I knew Joe was a special kind of man, but I never knew how special. I was glad during our time to be in Joe’s company but more so now I’m getting to know Joe through his family and friends. Knowing Joe, he got a free pass and went directly to heaven and when Stacey notified me that Joe passed, she said Joe went to heaven and I believe that wholeheartedly. I will miss our walks. RIP
Nothing But Blue Skies Joe.
