Joseph Michael Tabacchi peacefully passed away on Tuesday, March 24, 2026 in his home in O’Fallon MO, with his family at his side.
Beloved husband of 52 years to Maureen Tabacchi (LoDuca), cherished son of the late Theresa and Anthony Tabacchi, loving Father of his Son Vittorio (Vito), Daughter in law Amanda Tabacchi and Daughter Maria Tabacchi, dearest Grandpa of Mia and Vince Tabacchi, beloved brother of Antoinette (Ronald) Georger and loving brother in law, uncle & cousin to many and “Daddy” to his 15 year old doggy, Britney.
Joe was a natural born leader and protector to his family and friends. You never had to be afraid when Joe was around because he would always take care of you. Family was Joe’s life and home to him. Nothing was more important to Joe than his family & friends. Joe was a man of few words and respected by all that knew him. Joe had a kind heart and loved nothing more than being around his family.
Joe loved fishing & loved the fishing trips and times he got to spend with his cousins. Joe was also Pipefitter with Local 562.
Joe loved his family very much and was so proud of his kids & grandkids… Vito, Amanda, Maria, Mia and Vince. Joe loved his wife, Maureen, unconditionally for the past 52 years.
We are all heartbroken to have lost Joe but know he is safe in God’s hands and free from all pain and suffering.
Joe will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.

My deepest condolences to your entire family and I know that Joe’s memory will forever be with each of you.
I was so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. I lived next door to the Tabacchi’s on Era Ave. in Walnut Park. We had many great times together and played cards often (poker) at my house. I will miss him and I’m praying for peace and comfort for Joe’s family and friends, I bought my first car, a silver 57 chevy from Joes dad Anthony. It was a blessing living next door to the Tabacchi’s and I cherish the memories!
Next door neighbors growing up. Joe was in my grade at Herzog Elementary but I spent more time with Antoinette… My first paid job was tutoring her (helping her with homework) for 25 cents an hour. It is good to know that Joe grew up to be such a kind and loving husband and father. God bless you all as you mourn this huge loss in your life!
Joe, you are and always will be the love of my life.
My heart is broken and empty and I miss you so much. I know you are so proud of Vito and Amanda, Maria, Mia and Vince and we all know how much you loved all of us. I know you are at peace now. One day we will be together again so wait for me. I will always love you forever and ever. Maureen
I’m reaching out my heart and thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Joey’s dad was my Uncle Anthony. As kids, I used to spend the night at their house. My Mother Lillian was very close to her brother Tony.

I am so sorry for the loss of Joe. He will surely be missed. My heart breaks for you all. I’m happy he is at peace with God. Sending love and prayers for good memories and strength.
I’m going to miss Joe’s playful ways. He used to always say talk to my secretary (Maureen) anytime I asked if he would like to participate in something. I would tell Joe I’m going to talk to your secretary. He would just start laughing. I would go to the secretary and say to her ” Joe’s secretary, are you guys able to participate in this event on this day”. I would go back to Joe and say your secretary said you guys are good to go. He would then chuckle and smile. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to your entire family. Michelle
My sincere sympathy is shared for the loss of Joey, my beloved cousin. I have so many fond memories of him. I spent much time with him during our growing up years. Many of us Tabacchi cousins would gather for Christmas and summer vacations spending weeks together. Uncle Anthony, Aunt Teresa, Joey and Antoinette were excellent hosts!
His memory is alive in my mind. Mostly I can remember his sparkling eyes, his teddy bear hugs. I will join you at his Celebration of Life in spirit and in my heart.
Condolences to all of you, Joey’s cherished family and friends.
