Joseph G. Sikora III

Joseph G. Sikora III passed away very unexpectedly on March 10, 2025, at the age of 33. Joe experienced 5 seizures over the past two years since January 2023, all but one occurring in his sleep. Despite hospital visits, medical evaluations, and changes to his treatment, the underlying cause remained undetermined.
Joe was born on March 29, 1991, at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ. As a baby, he lived in Hillsdale, NJ, before his family settled in Ridgefield Park, where he attended grammar school. Later, they moved to Millstone, NJ, where Joe graduated from Millstone Middle School. He briefly attended Allentown High School before graduating with honors from Prew Academy High School in Sarasota Florida.
During his young adult years, Joe faced a life-altering challenge when he was seriously injured in a car accident as a passenger. Over the course of a year and a half, he endured seven surgeries and a long road to recovery, demonstrating his resilience and determination.
Joe worked alongside his father part-time and spent summers sharing his passion for technology, teaching children about computers. His love for learning led him to pursue higher education at Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree. Throughout his life, Joe had a natural ability to form deep and lasting friendships, enriching the lives of many.
One of the greatest joys in Joe's life was his relationship with Aundrea Seigenthaler, his beloved life partner. Their bond was one of love, laughter, and unwavering support.
Joe is survived by his loving parents, Carol L. Sikora of Venice FL and Joseph G. Sikora Jr. of Ocean Grove NJ, as well as his devoted brother John McGowan Sikora and his wife Alesha Sikora. He is also deeply mourned by his grandmother Brenda Sikora and his great-uncle Dennis McGowan.
