Joseph passed suddenly Thursday morning at the age of 20. Joseph is a beloved son of Joseph and Roxanne Vitarelli and is loved dearly by his sister, Victoria, and brothers, Frank and Vincent. Joseph was treasured by his uncles and aunts, along with his many cousins. He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Frank and Maria Barbarino. He is survived by his paternal grandparents, Frank and MaeAnn Vitarelli. Joseph was a proud graduate of Colts Neck High School Class of 2013 and was continuing his education at Colts Neck High School while working at the Colts Neck Primary School's preschool program, where he began his education. He was loved by his amazing teachers, aids, and the students who knew him. Joseph enjoyed school, was an avid sports fan, and participated in Challenger Youth Sports, currently, known as RallyCAP Sports. He enjoyed playing softball, basketball, and football, and watching his New York Jets on Sundays. Joseph's smile always lit up a room and he will forever be missed. Everyone who was blessed to know Joseph loved him dearly. At the family's request, in lieu of flowers, please make donations to RallyCAP Sports.
