During his extended six-year battle with throat cancer he showed great strength, perseverance, and an unwavering positive attitude. Joe lived his life as a cowboy, and in 1971, expanded the Maddox Ranches built by his father, James Daniel “Jimmie” Maddox and his grandfather, Joseph Price Maddox, from Mitchell County to Nolan County, and into New Mexico. He was the Ranch Manager of the West Ranch in Ozona, Texas, for Holistic Management International from 2000-2014. He continued his ranching when he and Peggy moved to Hermleigh, Texas, in 2014.
Joe met the love of his life, Peggy Sue Barnes Maddox, at age 14 in Sweetwater, Texas. They were married in 1960 and enjoyed 63 years of marriage. Joe attended Texas Christian University in 1958 and was a member of the freshman football team. He transferred to Texas Tech University in 1960 graduated in 1963 with a degree in Animal Husbandry.
Joe is survived by his wife, Peggy, and their children, Marjori Maddox Krebs and Jim Dalton Maddox and families. Marjori is married to Paul Krebs. Their daughter Taylor is married to Kaleb Potter; their children are Caroline Olivia and Preston Maddox. Their son is Jacob Price Krebs.

Preceded in death by his father James Daniel “Jimmie” Maddox in 1971, his mother June Allen Maddox in 2000, and his brother Jim Ty Maddox in 1971.
Joe loved to ranch, play golf, listen to Willie’s Roadhouse, enjoy a good meal with good company, cheer on the Dallas Cowboys, and dance with Peggy in the kitchen on Sunday mornings. He was a caring, loving father, grandfather, and great grandfather who never met a stranger, and was known to call Mrs. Allen’s Fried Chicken to see when they would be serving apple cobbler. He taught us how to live a life full of fun, love, family, appreciation, and relationships.
