Joseph Henry Peluaga

Joseph Henry Peluaga, age 44, passed away Thursday April 27, 2023 at his home in Overton, Nevada. He was born October 26, 1978 in Las Vegas, Nevada, the first born to Henry Joseph “Hank” Peluaga and Elizabeth “Ann” Fowler. He has two siblings: Michelle Peluaga and Ryan Peluaga.

Joseph was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. He graduated from Cimarron-Memorial High School in 1997. His true talents were playing soccer, riding dirt bikes and snowboarding. His passion for snowboarding led to a sponsorship by It’s All Downhill Snowboard Shop. After high school he furthered his education at the University of Nevada, Reno.

He then moved back home to Las Vegas where he began working in the construction industry at Pipes Paving. Joseph learned at an early age the value of hard work and dedication. He excelled at dirt work and operating heavy equipment. This led him to a land management position with Lennar Homes. He took great pride in his work, which helped him quickly prevail in this position as well. While working at Pipes Paving he met the love of his life, Kelly Lynn Davis. They were married October 19, 2006 in Kauai, Hawaii accompanied by his two daughters Madisen and Payten. Shortly after, they added four more children to complete their beautiful family.

Joseph will always be remembered for his generosity and willingness to help others, especially on the jobsite, his dancing and humor. His children will always remember the special times they spent together outdoors.

Survivors include his wife, Kelly; six children: Madisen, Payten, Rykyn, Lola, Paxtyn and Nova; one granddaughter, Brynlee; parents, Hank and Ann Peluaga; sister, Michelle Peluaga and brother, Ryan Peluaga.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Hank and Lola Peluaga; Kent and Betty Fowler; and two aunts: Sharon Wynn and Sherry Peluaga.

Memorial service will be held on Friday, May 26, 2023 at 3 p.m. in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Overton chapel, 226 Thomas Ave., Overton, Nevada 89040.
