Illinois Holstein member Joseph Platz, 88, of Sigel, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, June 4, 2026.

He spent his entire life farming, taking great pride in caring for his Holstein cattle. His love for the dairy industry extended beyond the farm as a member of the Illinois Holstein Association, where he enjoyed promoting and supporting the Holstein breed.

Showing cattle was one of Joe's greatest passions. Whether at local, state, or regional shows, he treasured the friendships, experiences, and memories made through exhibiting cattle and sharing his knowledge with others. His commitment to agriculture and the dairy community earned him the respect of fellow farmers and friends throughout the area.

View Joseph Platz's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
