Conflicting information on date of death in the media. Obituary lists March 21.
Sgt. Joseph P. Collette, age 29, of Fountain, Colorado, died serving his country in Afghanistan on March 21, 2019. He was born and raised in Lancaster, Ohio, and graduated from Lancaster High School in 2007. He was enlisted in the U.S. Army for eight years and four months where he was an EOD technician. He was in 242nd Ordnance Battalion, 62nd Ordnance Company, 71st Ordnance Group stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, CO. Joseph enjoyed running, snowboarding, Pokémon, gaming, and 4-wheeling. He almost went professional in paintball. He had a passion for cooking and loved spending time with his family and friends. All who knew Joseph will greatly miss his amazing personality, sense of humor, and his love for life. Joseph is survived by his perfect soul mate and wife, Caela Collette; children, Blair and Cody Collette; stepchildren, Lena and Aria Scott; devoted mother, Theresa (Dan Fuller) Mecionis; father, Joseph A. (Cindy) Collette; stepfather, Jim (Rosi Flores) Wickline; siblings, Anthony Vincent Colletti, Camille Marina Colletti, and Nicholas Joseph Colletti; grandparents, Joan Mecionis, Barbara (Rick) Ramsey, Shirley Wickline, and Mary Jo McConnille Lynch; aunts, Ronnie Iannacchino, Dr. Michele Lynch, Jill (Mark) Lynch, Danielle Collette; uncles, Bobby (Irene) Mecionis, David (Denise) Mecionis, Ray Collette, Keith Collette, and Eric (Ann) Lynch; cousins, nieces, nephews, and close friends too numerous to mention. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Jere and Joseph Collette; Peter Mecionis, and Howard Lynch. Visitation and Funeral Services were held at Faith Memorial Church, Lancaster, officiated by Pastor William P. Means. Military honors took place following the service at Maple Grove Cemetery. Arrangements were entrusted to Frank E. Smith Funeral Home.
Collette was flown to Rickenbacker International Airport in Columbus, Ohio, where his body was brought by Frank E. Smith Funeral Home's hearse to Lancaster. A procession traveled from the airport down U.S. Rte. 33 to the Lancaster Rte. 33 business route. It turned left onto Main Street, left onto Broad Street, left onto Wheeling Street and a right onto Columbus Street where the hearse stopped in front of the funeral home. The honor guard ended the procession by taking Collette into the funeral home. The public honored Joseph by lining the streets to pay their respects. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine ordered all U.S. and Ohio flags on public buildings and grounds in Fairfield County and the Statehouse to be lowered to half-staff in honor of Collette until sunset on the day of his funeral. The following is how Jeff Barron, staff writer, of the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, described the procession: "Collette's body returned to Lancaster Wednesday with a thunderous cavalcade of about 320 motorcycles, along with first-responders from across central Ohio. People packed the downtown streets and waved flags as the procession rode by to the funeral home from Rickenbacker International Airport in Columbus. They had been standing long before the first Columbus Police Department motorcycles roared down Main Street around 11:15 a.m. to lead the procession. Several businesses had flags in their windows and the lawn of the Fairfield County Job and Family Services building was adorned with small flags. The Patriot Guard Riders and other motorcyclists followed the CPD motorcycles and took about 10 minutes to pass before the white hearse taking Collette to the funeral home passed under a large American flag suspended from two city fire trucks. The Patriot Guard Riders are comprised of veterans and civilians who ride their motorcycles in military funerals to protect the hearse and the family. After the din of the motorcycles faded out, a solemn silence fell on downtown as people paid their respects to Collette. The procession ended at the funeral home as his flag-draped coffin was carried into the building with his family following."
Collette had been in the Army since November 2010, and stationed at Fort Carson since June 2012. He arrived in Afghanistan Dec. 27, 2018. He was a recipient of the Purple Heart, the Combat Action Badge, the Senior Explosive Ordnance Disposal Badge, an Excellence in Competition Rifleman Badge, two Army Good Conduct medals and four Army Achievement medals.
(NEWS STORY) Humble. Selfless. Caring. Courageous. Those are just some of the words Gov. Mike DeWine said described U.S. Army Sgt. Joseph Collette.
"It's been said that great men take up great space, even when they're gone," he said Friday at Collette's funeral at Faith Memorial Church. "That's certainly true of Joey. He had a very big presence, and he always will."
Collette, 29, was killed in action on March 21 in Afghanistan, along with Sgt. 1st Class Will D. Lindsay, 33, of Cortez, Colorado.
Collette was assigned to the 242nd Ordnance Battalion, 71st Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group in Fort Carson, Colorado, according to the Department of Defense.
He held the rank of specialist when he died, but the Army posthumously promoted him to sergeant.
"Joey was taken from us much, much too soon," DeWine said. "He grew up with loving, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. He experienced the love of a soulmate (wife Caela) who was a loyal friend and always there when he needed her."
Collette and his wife had only been married since December. He also leaves behind two children and two stepchildren.
DeWine said it is not the uniform that makes someone a hero, but what a person does while wearing that uniform that makes a hero.
No members of Collette's family spoke during the funeral. Instead, there was a message from the family in the funeral program. It said as follows:
"A very sincere and heartfelt thank you for all the wonderful support we have received. The weight of our grief has been lightened by your gestures of love and kindness."
Pastor Bill Means was the officiant and shared some of the family's memories of Collette and encouraged them to remember the good times with him to deal with their grief.
"Joey was also a patriot," Means said. "What he did for his country made a difference. The world will be a bit poorer now that he's gone."
Besides family members, there was also a large contingent of military personnel of various service branches on hand.
Means gave a short sermon and said like Paul the Apostle, Collette fought the good fight.
Flautist Randall Hester and violist Stephanie Price performed a piece called "Elegy for Joey." Collette's uncle, New York composer David Mecionis wrote the instrumental.
Local musician Dan Neeley performed "I'll Fly Away" to conclude the service.
Following the funeral, a large procession escorted the hearse to Maple Grove Cemetery for military graveside services. There were pockets of people lining up on Fair Avenue and Main Street, along with numerous flags in yards and on the property of several businesses. Some businesses also had signs honoring Collette.
