Joseph Alfred Napolitano

In Loving Memory of Joe Napolitano It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a truly remarkable man, Joe Napolitano, who left this world on September 25, 2023. Joe lived a life that touched the hearts of everyone he knew, leaving behind a legacy of faith, generosity, love and uplifting energy. Even in the face of adversity, as he battled cancer and kidney failure, he continued to radiate hope and positivity. A symbol of this enduring spirit embodied in his final year through crafting jewelry adorned with inspirational tokens, which he compassionately donated to the Fischer House in Ann Arbor. In his words, “Creating jewelry has brought me immeasurable fulfillment, and the countless compliments I've received on my creations have been incredibly rewarding. However, what truly fills my heart with joy is utilizing my jewelry endeavors to give back to fellow veterans in diverse ways, all under the name of "Give Back Hope." Joe Napolitano was undeniably a special man, and his absence leaves a void that will be deeply felt by the countless lives he touched. Our thoughts and prayers are with his beloved wife, Donna, and their children, Paul and Maria, along with their respective families, as they navigate this difficult time. As we remember Joe, may we carry forward his legacy of hope, faith, and generosity, striving to live our lives in a way that honors his memory. Joe Napolitano will be greatly missed and forever cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
