He was most notable for creating and executive producing the popular Western drama series Hell on Wheels, which aired on AMC for five seasons.
“Joe was one of a kind. He was passionate, creative, loud, boisterous, argumentative, unfiltered, soft-hearted, hilarious, and terrible at the politics of this cutthroat business. He was a big brother, mentor, writing partner, and best friend to me. Our hearts are shattered at his passing and we will miss him forever,” Tony Gayton wrote after Joe’s death.
