It is with heavy hearts that we must announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Joe Wofford on Wednesday October 28, 2026. Many knew him as “KYMCO Joe”. His family, our KYMCO team and all those who knew him are devastated right now. Our condolences and sadness are with everyone.
This business was a huge part of Joe’s life; his passion, commitment and genuine care were well known by everyone he interacted with, even if only for a few minutes. He put everything into it over 30+ years and was prepared to put in even more. The timing comes as we are merely days away from a trip out to the SEMA Show, which Joe championed and planned extensively together with us all. He was so excited to share the joy, energy, laughter and stories of KYMCO together with new and old faces there.
As hard as it is right now, we know Joe wouldn’t want us to slow down. He would want us all to “keep our foot on the gas!” So that’s what we’re going to do – get out there, continue his plans, and keep sharing what he worked so hard for while remembering to have a little fun along the way.
For Joe.
Pay your respects at SEMA. KYMCO USA will be in the Powersports Pavilion Booth #55245
