Joseph Nochta 1978-2026

Joe lived a life filled with purpose and love. He spent his early years in Warren, where he raised his son, Christian Miller, teaching him the most important values of life. Joe dedicated his life’s work to General Motors, working his way up from the production line to becoming an electrician in Flint, Michigan. It was there that he met and married Lindsay Bergquist on Oct. 17, 2020. Together, they shared the joys of family, including Joe’s great-nephew, Ayden, and stepdaughter, Maeci Rae, whom he loved as his own. Joe’s passions included sports, particularly cheering for the Cleveland Browns, maintaining saltwater aquariums, scuba diving, working on home projects and playing ping pong with his nephew. Joe cherished time spent outdoors with his family and dogs, and he loved going home to Ohio.

Joe is survived by his wife, Lindsay Nochta; son, Christian Miller; great-nephew, Ayden Sorvillo; stepdaughter, Maeci Rae Bergquist Sikkila; mother, Betty Nochta; sister, Cindy Sorvillo; nieces, Brittany and Brianna Sorvillo; nephew, Anthony Sorvillo; great-niece, Natalie Sorvillo; great-nephew, Brayden Greathouse; and many cousins, family members and friends who loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his father, William Nochta; two uncles, Barry and Jack; as well as grandparents, Margaret and Garland Hash, whose memories he cherished.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
