Joseph Skorupski Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jurkiewicz Wilk Funeral Home on Oct. 6, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Joseph "Joey" Skorupski, who left us while aboard his boat-his sanctuary and place of peace.

Born on September 27, 1971, to Patricia and Joseph J. Skorupski, Joey lived a life full of laughter, loyalty, and love. He found joy in the open water and had a deep passion for automobiles, embracing both with enthusiasm and skill. Whether behind the wheel or at the helm, Joey was always in his element.

Joey is survived by his devoted mother Pat; his younger brother Christopher; his lifelong friend and "brother from another mother" Keith Ozimkowski; his cherished nephews Natty Skorupski and Devin Ozimkowski; his sisters-in-law Kara Skorupski and Rounza Ozimkowski; his loving godmother Vickie and uncle Allen Rosinski; uncle Tom and aunt Pam Hornik; cousin Mary and Nick Predko; cousins Matthew and Roxanne Hornik and family, and Eric Hornik and his husband Andrew Bormann and a large extended family of cousins and friends who adored him.

Joey's absence leaves an irreplaceable void in our hearts. His memory will forever be a source of comfort to all who knew him.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

There are no words for what I feel, I wasn´t ready for that one Joe. You were to me what the definition of a true friend is and will always be. From our dudes BBQs, to cornhole in the driveway at 2 am to your favorite bean bag in our basement, Maggie and I are heartbroken. Fly high my friend and know how much we cherish our memories.
