Joseph F. Muller, 81, of Huntersville, North Carolina, passed away on October 20, 2026.
Born in Manhattan, New York, Joe graduated from The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, in 1967. He proudly served his country as a captain and helicopter pilot in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, earning two Bronze Star Medals, including one with a “V” device for valor.
Joe was a member of Saint Mark Catholic Church, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed cooking, sharing a good story, and, most of all, spending time with his family. A natural storyteller, Joe leaves behind a lifetime of memories and stories that will continue to be shared by those who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Nicholas and Margaret Muller, and his sister, Judith Colson.
Joe is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Melody (Hiser) Muller; their three children, Amy Muller, Todd Muller, and Alison (Tim) Frazier; their eight grandchildren, Emily, Alene, Cole, Ellie, Henry, Benjamin, Savannah, and Luke; his sister, Anne Butler, and brother, Paul Muller; and many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews.
A funeral mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, October 30, 2026, at Saint Mark Catholic Church, 14740 Stumptown Road, Huntersville, North Carolina.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in Joe’s memory.
