At this time of heartbreak, I am asking for help.

My family has lost Joe Mariarossi — a devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and the center of a very loving family.

Joe fought a long battle with heart disease after his first heart attack in 2016. Through years of procedures and hospital stays, he never stopped showing up for the people he loved. Even when he was tired, he still had a toolbox in his hand, music playing loud, and advice ready for anyone who needed it. He remodeled houses for a living, but what he truly built was family. He built strength in his children, confidence in me, and loyalty in everyone lucky enough to know him.

Joe recently lost his battle surrounded by his family.

Unfortunately, his life insurance policy was not in effect long enough to cover the funeral and burial expenses required to honor his wishes and lay him to rest. These costs must be paid upfront, and during this time of grief, I cannot carry this financial burden alone.

We are hoping to raise $18,000 to cover his burial, service, and cemetery expenses so we can honor him with the dignity he deserves.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward these expenses. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page and keeping our family in your prayers means just as much.

Donations can also be made in Joes name by calling Stephens and Bean Funeral Chapel Fresno, CA

Thank you for helping us honor Joe’s life and legacy.

With gratitude,

Brooke Mariarossi
