Joseph Scamaldo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Reardon Simi Valley Funeral Home - Simi Valley on Feb. 12, 2026.
Joseph "Joey/Joe" Richard Scamaldo, age 69, of Simi Valley, California, passed away on February 6, 2026. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, then moved to the San Fernando Valley,

Joey lived his life exactly the way he wanted to: with bravery, love, and a legendary sense of humor. To those who knew him, Joey was more than just a big loud personality, he was a man with a large stature and an even bigger heart. He brought an unmistakable energy to everything he did.

Joey shared a love for motorcycles, fishing, friends but mainly his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Peggy; his children, Dominic and Jenna, his mother Janet, his brother, Jimmy and son-in-law Shawn. He was also an amazing Papa who will be deeply missed by his grandchildren-Olivia, Dominic, Ryan, and Emma.

He is preceded in death by his father, Russ; brothers Michael, Dominic, Mark and Anthony and sister Gina, who we imagine were there to meet him at the end of his final ride.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Joey's life on Friday, February 20th, at Reardon Simi Valley Funeral Home.
