Joseph Leonard McCarthy DPM

MCCARTHY, Joseph Leonard, DPM. March 3, 2025. Age 60. Beloved husband of Monica (nee Dikin) McCarthy for over 12 years. Proud and adored father of Victoria McCarthy. Loving brother of Michael (Janice) McCarthy, the late Patrick (Ranae) McCarthy, the late Maryann Soloman (Donald) and the late Michelle Burke. Survived by many dear nieces and nephews. Joseph was born in Detroit, Michigan to Leonard and Joanne McCarthy. As a young man, he had a very large paper route delivering for the Macomb Daily. He was a National Wrestling Champion who raised enough money to travel for competition in Iraq and Germany at a very young age. Joseph is a devout Michigan State fan, which is where he attended for his undergrad education. He later went on to graduate from Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine (1990) with a Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine. He began his podiatric career at Motor City Podiatry, for his brother-in-law, at both Warren & Dearborn locations. Joseph fostered the "visiting podiatrist" sector until 2007. He then decided to open his own homecare podiatry practice, which served Macomb, Oakland, & Wayne counties. He enjoyed caring for his patients, as much as they loved having him for a doctor. Joe is highly regarded and loved by all who knew him and will be remembered always. A celebration honoring his life will be held at a later date.
