Joseph Thomas Gebelt, 47, of Alexandria, Kentucky, peacefully drifted away on Monday, October 21, 2024, surrounded by family.

Joe was born on August 19, 1977, to Tom and Kathy Gebelt in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky. After Joe graduated from Campbell County High School in 1995, he went on to earn his degree in information technology from Northern Kentucky University.

Joe loved spending time and sharing his talents with friends and family, especially outdoors. He appreciated attending MDA camp as a child, enjoyed tinkering with computers, and grew to be a talented pool player, qualifying to play in Las Vegas. Joe was an avid UK fan and was always up for a good debate. He used his humor to spread love and encouragement.

He is survived by his parents, Tom and Kathy (Bolte) Gebelt and sisters, Laura Vroegindewey and Sarah (Quinn) Kobman.
