Joseph J. Mittleider, 36, Boise, Idaho, peacefully passed away at his home Monday, March 28, 2016, after a long, courageous battle with neuroendocrine carcinoma. A celebration of his life will be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on his birthday, May 23, at Catalpa Park, where he played tennis, threw Frisbees, ran and took his last walk outside.

Joseph John Mittleider was born May 23, 1979, in Nampa, Idaho, the son of Harold and Mai Mittleider. He was the valedictorian of his class at Eagle High School. He went to The College of Idaho where he received a bachelor’s degree and then moved to Boise State for a second degree. After college, he studied to be a CPA and was employed with businesses in both Oregon and Idaho.

He married Kendra Misbach in 2007. Their bond was very special and as he went through his cancer journey, they shifted their focus toward clean living and urban farming, a unique lifestyle that few people would try.

He excelled at everything he put his mind to. His competititve spirit and determination was something to admire before and after his diagnosis in 2012. Though he put everything he had into curing his cancer, he would be a beautiful spirit taken too soon.

Joe, Kendra and their families thank everyone for their help during his long battle. Your support, prayers and love were always felt. Kendra’s address is: 3655 N Collister Dr., Boise, Idaho 83703.

Mittleider is survived by his wife, Kendra, and his dog, Banzai; his parents, Harold and Mai; his brother, John; his sisters, Lesah and Ann; his nieces and hephews; his father- and mother-in-law, Greg and Gloria Misbach, Filer, Idaho, formerly of the Marengo and Williamsburg area, and Kendra’s brothers, Lyle and family, Salem, Ore., and Neal, Fraser, Colo.
