Support Joe's Family

Honoring Joe Crisafulli — Beloved Husband, Father, Grandpa & Custom Paint Legend

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Joe Crisafulli — a loving husband to Gidget, proud father, devoted grandpa, and the heart of our family. Joe was the kind of man who poured love into everything he did — especially his family.

He also happened to be a legend in the world of custom auto painting. From the 1950s on, Joe’s signature fades, graphics, and timeless style helped shape custom car culture. His work inspired generations — including his grandson Curtis, who proudly carries on the craft Joe taught him. Joe’s hands may be at rest, but his legacy rolls on through Curtis and every vehicle touched by his influence.

We’re raising funds to help give Joe the memorial he deserves — one that honors both the man he was to his family and the icon he was to the world. Any support is deeply appreciated as we celebrate the life of someone who gave so much to so many.

Thank you for helping us remember Joe and keep his spirit alive.
