JOSEPH TARULLI Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Strunk Funeral Homes and Crematory - Sebastian on Feb. 12, 2026.
Joseph G. Tarulli, 70, of Grant, Florida, passed away on February 8, 2026. Born on November 6, 1955, in Brooklyn, New York, Joseph lived a life defined by hard work, devotion to family, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys that made life meaningful.

Joe was the beloved son of the late Joseph Tarulli and Racheal LaForteza. He carried with him the values instilled in him from an early age, dedication, integrity, and perseverance, which shaped the man he became. An intelligent and skilled craftsman, Joseph built and ran a successful business for many years, earning the respect of colleagues and friends alike. His work ethic was unmatched, and he took great pride in providing for his family through his talent and determination.

Joe loved riding his Harley, embracing adventure with the same passion and spirit that defined his life. He valued time with loved ones above all else and created countless memories that will be forever held close by those who knew him.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Joe's greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted and loving husband to Jeanne Tarulli, and a proud father to his children: Joey, Matt, and Sarah. His role as "Papa" to his seven cherished grandchildren was one he treasured most.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Racheal Tarulli.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 46 years, Jeanne, his children: Joey (Lisa) Tarulli, Matt (Lisa) Tarulli, and Sarah (James) Staehli, his 7 grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews who will continue to honor his legacy of strength, dedication, and unwavering love for family.

Joseph will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his generous heart, and the lasting impact he made on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
