Joseph Bernard Suprick

Joseph Bernard Suprick, III of Pittsboro, NC died on Thursday, June 29, 2023 at UNC Hospitals after a short illness. He is survived by his wife of 40 years Sue (Grupe) Suprick, and by his daughter Danielle, and his son Joey, IV (both professional engineers). He will be greatly missed.

“Joe” was an exceptionally accomplished and innovative engineer who worked for major US and multinational corporations across the country, internationally, and throughout his local community. He was a good provider for his family, and a friend to all. People described him as strong, driven, creative, a problem-solver, and always willing to lend a helping hand. He enjoyed and was devoted to his work. Joe’s engineering and building skills were exceptional and innovative. They included, but were not limited to, electrical, mechanical, and engineering services. “There wasn’t a problem that he believed he could not solve” and he was fond of saying “Provide me with the facts”. On his desk, his last note read–“Beat Cancer 2023!”. Those who knew him know he’s probably still working on it. 

Joe’s family wants to express their appreciation to the caring doctors, nurses, and staff of UNC Hospitals. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The John Hopkins University for Gallbladder and Bile Duct Cancer Research in his memory. A “Celebration of Life” gathering will be held in Joe’s honor on Saturday, July 29th from 12pm to 3pm at The MOD, a local Pittsboro business Joe helped design and build. The family would be honored if others were to share stories or pictures of Joe at the “Celebration of Life”.
