Joseph E. "Joe" Sorensen

Joseph Edward "Joe" Sorensen, passed away on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2025, at the age of 76.

Born in Scobey, Montana on January 11, 1949, Joe was insistent on forging his own path through life. He was a fiercely independent man.

Those who knew him will remember him in a variety of perspectives. For some he will be remembered as a devoted husband. Married to Margaret Joyce "Peggy Jo" in August 1987, he was her best friend and partner. Lunches, meals and simple walks. Even following her passing on August of 2003, he remained loyal to his love to the end.

Others will remember him as a veteran. Joe served in the Army following high school, as a mechanic, where he was stationed in Germany, as well as a tour in Vietnam.

For some he was a friend or coworker. Ever loyal and dedicated, hard work was just a hobby for Joe as he made it look easy. If you needed a hand, he was the first one there.

Cars were his passion. Whether as a mechanic or a trucker or cruising on his bike, he loved engines and the road.

In later years, Joe enjoyed fishing, watching Westerns, coffee with his friends at various stops in Wolf Point, and hanging around the shop, where he "supervised" and occasionally still got his hands dirty.

A father and mentor, Joe stepped into a role, he could never know the impact he would have. Lessons and guidance that will reach beyond those he would ever meet. Joe lived a full life. He lived his passion, pursued happiness, found it and forged his joy.

Joe was preceded in death by wife Peggy (nee Duvall, formerly Rasmussen) Sorensen, son Justin Rasmussen, parents Peter and Mary Sorensen, brothers Henry Sorensen and John Sorensen, and nephew Travis Sorensen.

He is survived by sons Razz Rasmussen "Shawn" and Mike Rasmussen, brother Roy Sorensen, nephews Jason Sorensen, Jimmy Sorensen, Dale Sorensen, and Michael Sorensen, niece Allison Reed, and sister-in-law Paulette Sorensen.
