Joel Weeks Obituary

age 67, (CPD) retired, passed away peacefully in Loudon, Tennessee. Born in Neenah, Wisconsin, Joel spent most of his life in Chicago, Illinois, where he served with pride as a member of the Chicago Police Department until his retirement.

A devoted husband, Joel is survived by his beloved wife, Susan M. Weeks (née Gibson). He was the cherished son of the late Robert L. Weeks and Noreen M. Weeks (née VanDinter),  amazing father of Jennifer (Joseph) Anselmo and Christopher (Amanda) Weeks. Doting Papa to Emma, Hannah and Abby. Loving grandpa to Sean, Autumn, Riley and Stephanie. Proud great grandpa to Mariella and Azalea Grace. Loving uncle to many nieces and nephews and special dad to Amanda and Joe. 

Joel was a loving brother to Kathleen (Steve) Larson, and was preceded in death by his siblings John Weeks, Diane Rachfal, and Julie Lynn Weeks.

He will be remembered for his deep commitment to public service, his sense of humor, and the love he shared with his family and friends.

A celebration of life for his Tennessee family and friends at a later date.
