ApacheJoe LeRoy Carnes

East Liverpool-ApacheJoe LeRoy Carnes, 35, of East Liverpool, passed away Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital with his loving family at his side.

Joe was born November 29, 1988 in Salem, Ohio, a son of Sheila Louise (Newberry) Johnson and the late Alvin LeRoy Carnes.

A Christian by faith, he worked as a delivery driver for Amazon.  Joe loved R.C. cars and going fishing and is now on a fishing trip with his dad in heaven.  He was also the greatest downhill scooter rider of all time.  He enjoyed embarking on fresh escapades and bringing joy to his loved ones.  Joe’s legacy as a kind-hearted individual will endure, epitomized by his final act of selflessness in giving the gift of life and hope through organ donation.

In addition to his mother, Sheila Johnson of Lisbon, Joe leaves behind to cherish his memory, his heart’s wife, Rebecca Jean Ridgley of East Liverpool, his children, Haley Carnes of Washingtonville, Leeanne Ridgley, and Samuel Ridgley of East Liverpool; brother, Alvin W. Carnes of Hanoverton; sisters, Freda (Maxwell) Houp of Columbiana, Neva (Matthew) Carman of East Liverpool, and Erika Miller of East Liverpool; Amy (Brandi Jo) Moore of Boardman, a cousin with whom he shared a special connection; and many other cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and other family members.
