Joseph Edward “Joe” Sorensen ….

Joseph Edward “Joe” Sorensen passed away on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2025, at the age of 76.

Born in Scobey, Mont., on Jan. 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 in 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
