Joel William "Jody" Ham was born August 10, 1955, in Toppenish, WA to Dale and Mary Ham. We are deeply saddened to say that he passed away on November 30, 2013, at the age of 58, after a brief battle with cancer.

When he was about 6 years old, his family moved from Zillah, WA to Richland where he attended Richland schools. Joel, most recently, was working as a truck driver for the Tri-City Herald. In 1980, Joel married Teresa Woodruff. In 1984, their only child, Daniel Alan, was born. In 1996, Joel met Katie Sullenger and they were together until Joel's passing.

Joel was preceded in death by his father, Dale, his mother, Mary, and his brother Danny ('72) .

He is survived by the love of his life and soul mate Katie Sullenger. He is also survived by his son Dan (Sky), brother Jack ('69)(Priscilla), sister Julie ('77) Froehlich (Steve), sister-in-law Barb Hogan Ham ('72), Teresa Woodruff (Mark). His nieces Angie ('99) Gehlen (Sean), Molly ('02) Formo (Erik), and Katie Froehlich. Nephews, Joel Froehlich, Alex Froehlich, Erik Ham and Michael Ham.

At his request, there will be no service.
