Joseph Driessen, 43, of Berne, NY and life-partner to Cassie Daguillo, passed away on September 11, 2025. He was a loving, devoted father and best friend to Chloe Daguillo, Bella Driessen-Daguillo, Carson Driessen-Dagullio and true son of Cheryl Daguillo.
Joe's purpose and pride in life were his daughters and his successful business; he did everything he could to give his girls the life he didn't have growing up, teaching them to be strong and independent. Joe will be remembered for being a great father and for the support he brought to the girls during their basketball games, horse shows, barrel races, cars, trucks, quads and all the other family times they enjoyed together.
Joseph is also survived by his brother Robert J. Driessen (Alisha Taylor) of Ballston Spa, NY, as well as several nieces and nephews.
Calling hours will be held at New Comer Cremations & Funerals - 343 New Karner Road, Albany, NY on Tuesday September 16, 2025 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. A funeral service will immediately follow.
