Joseph Nicholas (Joey) Rohacevich, 48, unexpectedly passed away at his home in South Yarmouth, MA, on July 19, 2025.

Joey was born on February 8,1977, to Joseph R. and Linda Rohacevich at Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, NY. He graduated from Roxbury Central School in 1995. As a student, he was a talented all-round athlete, playing basketball, soccer, and golf. For two years he was the leading high scorer in his basketball league.

Professionally he worked in the golf industry in New York State, Florida, and Massachusetts, most recently as caddy master at the historic Oyster Harbors Club on Cape Cod.

Joey enjoyed following golf and other sports, mastering the newest technologies, and cooking, especially seafood. But what he enjoyed most was being with people-especially his family and friends. His sense of humor made him fun to be with and he had the ability to turn any gathering into a party. Joey also had a great deal of heart-and a special soft spot for animals.

Joey is survived by his wife, Kimberly Rohacevich; his parents; his sister Tanya Rohacevich of Chatham, NY, and his brother Jonathan Rohacevich (Tina), of Gilboa, NY; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A community celebration of life will be held from 2:00 -4:00 on Sunday, August 17 at the Grand Gorge Fire Department Hall. All are invited to join the family in remembering him.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the American Heart Association heart.org or Heart of the Catskill Humane Society (Delhi, NY) heartofthecatskills.org
