Joseph Guzzo Obituary

Joseph Gerald Guzzo, Jr., 32, of Punxsutawney, was called to the Lord on May 14, 2021, as the result of a work-related injury.
He was born Oct. 22, 1988, in DuBois, the son of Debbie (Zanaglio) and the late Joseph G. Guzzo, Sr.
After graduation from Punxsutawney Area High School in 2007, he took a position with Rosebud Mining, working as a miner operator. Joe attended the Albion Heights United Methodist Church.
Joe loved the outdoors and the company of his dogs, Buster and Mr. Brinley. He was passionate about restoring his 1976 yellow Chevy truck, which had belonged to his late father, and was an avid woodworker.
Joe was a wonderful and kind man who focused his attention on those he loved.
He was proud to be an amazing father to his son Joey and was a loving, supportive son to his mother. He was devoted to Lauren, and treasured time with her and the Conrad family, whom he loved very much. Joe valued his strong friendships with many Rosebud Mining co-workers and looked forward to visiting with their families and helping them with personal projects. Joe's sincere and infectious personality will be missed by all who knew him.
Joe is survived by his beloved son, Joey; mother Debbie Guzzo; maternal grandmother, Beverly Zanaglio; and best friend and girlfriend Lauren Conrad.
He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph G. Guzzo, Sr.; paternal grandparents Joe and Audrey Guzzo; and maternal grandfather John Zanaglio.
Family and friends will be welcomed at Deeley Funeral Home, 33 Hillcrest Drive, Punxsutawney, PA, on Thursday, May 20, 2021, from 3 to 9 p.m.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, May 21, 2021, at 11 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church of Punxsutawney, with Pastor Joel Fugate officiating.
Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery, Punxsutawney.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made, in memory of Joe, to the Punxsutawney Christian School, 216 N. Jefferson St., Punxsutawney, PA 15767.
