His two beautiful granddaughters – Kyleigh and Ryleigh Braoudakis, his brothers and sister – Robert (Cathy) Viores, Debra (Dale) Reese, Angel (Stephanie) Negron, Pete (Summer) Negron and a few cousins, nieces and nephews. Joe is predeceased by his father Dante Melonio and siblings Mark Kahler, Nadine Braoudakis, Dante Braoudakis, Demtrios Braoudakis, Nicklos Braoudakis.

A viewing will be held from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm, Friday, December 17th at Retz Funeral Home, 315 E 6th Ave, Helena, with a memorial service to follow at 5:00 pm.
