Joseph James Ammerman, 31, of Rural Valley, passed away Friday October 3, 2025 at home. He was born October 8, 1993 in Kittanning to Teresa Lynn (Crawford) Boguslawski and the late Timothy James Ammerman. Joseph worked as a direct care worker, and he enjoyed reading, technology, drawing and writing, outdoor cooking, and so much more.

He is survived by his mother Teresa L. (Crawford) Boguslawski of Kittanning; brother Jimmy Todd Ishman Jr. of Rural Valley; brother Robert B. Ammerman of Ohio; sister Kayla Fouse of Ford City; dog Molly; countless aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family.

Joseph was preceded in death by his father Timothy J. Ammerman and a brother Timothy J. Ammerman II.

Skinny was a kind and good hearted man. He would help anyone even if it was a stranger. Joe never meant a stray he didn't want to pet. Joe's sense of humor, and smile was his brand on the world.

Friends will be received on Friday October 10, 2025 at the Snyder-Crissman Funeral Home in Kittanning for a Memorial gathering from 4:00 P.M. until the time of a Memorial Service at 7:00 P.M. with Pastor Craig R. Lindahl officiating.
