Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, known as ‘Joe the Plumber,’ dies at 49

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who became known as “Joe the Plumber” after pushing then-Sen. Barack Obama on his economic policies during the 2008 presidential campaign, has died, according to his family. He was 49.

In July, Wurzelbacher reflected on his pancreatic cancer diagnosis, his family and his faith in an interview with The Blaze’s Glenn Beck, saying, “You can take strength from God and know that there are a lot more good people out there than bad. You know, we have some differences out there but ultimately people want to do good things and that’s been … incredible to see.”
