Karl Clinton Patrick
Joseph
August 13, 1974 – March 6, 2026
Karl Clinton Patrick Joseph, age 51, passed away on March 6, 2026, surrounded by the warmth of his loving family and friends.
Born on August 13, 1974, on the island of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, Clinton was the second of three children born to Melrose and Fernella Joseph. Raised in Harvey Project, Kingshill, he was a 1994 graduate of St. Croix Central High School. His lifelong passion for electronics began early; he was known for disassembling gadgets just to see how they worked—sometimes even when they weren't broken.
Clinton’s career was a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit. After relocating to Waterbury, Connecticut, in 1996, he pursued specialized training in Computer Technology and Bookkeeping. He eventually owned and operated successful IT and repair businesses in both St. Croix and Florida. Known for doing things "on his own time," entrepreneurship was his true calling.
The light of Clinton’s life was his daughter, Ne'Tasia Leilani Joseph, born July 31, 1998. A doting father, Clinton beamed with pride at her every achievement, and the two shared an unbreakable bond.
Clinton was the "link" between new and old family and friends. Whether known as "Karl," "El General," "Slow Boi," or "Silence Man," dubbed by our late grand mother, Diana Lewis "Dah", his kind nature and playful jokes left an undeniable mark on everyone he met. He lived by the words of Colossians 3:23-24: "Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men..."
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Clinton’s life on March 21, 2026 at Lankford Funeral Home & Crematory, 220 East New York Avenue, DeLand, Florida. Visitation will be held from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, followed immediately by the Homegoing Service.
May his soul rest in eternal peace, for his work is now complete.
