Help Us Give Joseph Ianniello a Loving Farewell

With a heart as big as his personality, my beloved younger brother Joseph Ianniello was called to his forever home on the early morning of Wednesday, July 10th, 2024. He left an indelible mark on the lives of everyone he touched. When he wasn't cheering on his favorite WWE wrestlers or rooting for his beloved New York Yankees, you could find him spending time with his loving family - his two daughters Laycia & O'leeanah and his son Joseph Jr, who were the apples of his eye.

Growing up in Yonkers, NY, we were inseparable, engaging in epic wrestling matches, hanging out every single day and making memories that would last a lifetime. He was my right hand man. Although we differed in the sports and interests we liked, we both loved cars growing up. The last ride we took a few weeks ago he absolutely loved. Life was good.

We played, we fought, and we grew. Just like brothers do.

My goal is to get him a viewing and burial at the minimal. This comes with a $8,500 quote. I'm going for the Stroudsburg area to have him buried. I'll get what I can through a loan and hopefully have some help here, God willing. We're all going through tough times in today's world so no negativity will be felt at all if you can't help.

Love is love and memories are forever. Spend as much time as you can with your loved ones. I sure wished I was there more.

I love you Joe

Thank you so much to everyone who has generously donated to help us honor Joseph's memory. Your support means the world to us during this difficult time. We still need help to reach our goal, so please share this fundraiser with your network and on social media. Together, we can ensure Joseph receives a proper burial and support his family in their time of need. Your kindness and prayers are deeply appreciated.

Update July 11th, we are currently slightly over $1,000 and that's truly a blessing. Thank you all. The office said he needs to be sent somewhere around the 13th/14th. I unfortunately may not be able to bury him properly in that short time frame. It has been mentioned he wished to be cremated in which I cannot partake in due to beliefs. Our father has mentioned himself paying for that. I'm well aware some people may not wish to donate to that due to beliefs as well. I can assure you this wouldn't go towards that procedure. It would however surely go toward a gathering or to our mother whom he lived with, along with his newborn daughter and our sister. If this doesn't align with anyone I can offer your money back no questions and with full understanding. Nothing is solid yet as I have to go meet with a couple funeral homes later on today and the fundraiser just started. Thank you very much for your understanding and please pray for us.

Thank you.

Anthony Ianniello
