Joel M. Commins

MENTOR- Joel M. Commins, 58, died unexpectedly at home on October 30th, 2026.

Joel was a graduate of Howland High School, class of 1987. After graduating, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, a step that reflected his sense of duty and commitment.

Joel was a member of the 331 American Legion where he enjoyed riding his motorcycle with friends.

His most precious love was his daughter Olivia. He was her hero and best friend, from bringing her home from the hospital in a Steelers onesie to always being there for her through every moment of her life. From super hero movies to trips to college every weekend. He was her mentor and hero, she will cherish those memories forever.

He brought people together, made ordinary moments memorable and filled our lives with laughter. Whether cheering for his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers or Cleveland Guardians, he loved sharing these moments with his Brew Crew friends and daughter, Olivia.
