Joe Daniel Livingston, 49, of Corinth, TX, passed away on July 1, 2015 in a tragic plane crash while accompanying a fellow pilot in Quinlan, TX. The funeral service will be held at 2 pm on July 18, 2015 at Downs Funeral Home in Marshall, TX. D. W. McLendon of Eastern Hills Church of Christ will be officiating. Visitation will be held from 6-8 pm on July 17, 2015 at Downs Funeral Home. Burial will follow at New Grover Cemetery. Joe was born in Waco, TX on September 24, 1965. He graduated from Marshall High School in 1983 and continued on to receive a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from ETBU in 1989. Joe was married to Angela Matthews Livingston on April 18, 2015 in a beautiful sunset wedding in Key West, FL. Joe worked as a mechanical engineer, all of which he spent supporting DMOS5 Thin Film for Texas Instruments where he had been employed for over 11 years. As described by his co-workers, Joe was a respected member of the team, a great friend and will be greatly missed. Joe also owned a successful frozen drink machine rental business called Margarito Mojo. Joe loved the outdoors and spent much of his free time camping, boating, deep sea fishing, and was an accomplished bowler winning many trophies and achieved a lifelong dream of bowling a perfect game of 300. Joe was a licensed pilot and his passion was flying his Cessna 172 on cross country flights and sharing his love of the skies with friends and family. Joe was a "people person" who never met a stranger and was always willing to drop everything and help a friend or anyone in need. Joe is survived by his wife, Angela Matthews Livingston, Corinth, TX, his father Warren Livingston, Marshall, TX and mother-in-law Joyce Matthews also of Marshall, Uncle Dan Livingston of Shell Lake, WI, cousin Kevin Livingston and his wife, Diane also of Shell Lake, WI and many lifelong friends. Joe is preceded in death by his mother, Marjorie, brother David Livingston, sister Kelley Livingston and grandparents Robert & Martha Livingston of Shell Lake, WI and Warren & Anna Rolin of Valley Falls, KS. Pallbearers are Rod Hall, Steve Guinn, David McReynolds, Jay Brousseau, Daniel McCaig, and Richard Cross. Honorary pallbearers are his fellow co-workers at Texas Instruments, fellow aviators, and friends on the Texas Fishing Forum.
