Joseph "Fatty" Zeno was born May 25, 1988, and passed away October 31, 2025, at the age of 37.
Joseph loved the outdoors, especially fishing and crabbing. He enjoyed watching the Saints and LSU, always rooting hard for his teams. When he wasn't on the water or watching a game, you could find him shooting pool or having a drink with friends. He was someone who enjoyed life in simple ways and liked to make people laugh. More than anything he loved his family and will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his significant other, Tiffany Simmons; Angel Rainwater, mother of Hunter, Brennan, and Mia; children, Hunter Zeno, Brennan Zeno, Mia Zeno, Maverick Zeno, Isabelle Holland, Kayden Robertson, and Saphire Myers; mother, Wanda France; siblings, Anita Zeno, Antoine Zeno Jr., Antoinette Zeno, Shanena Zeno, and Antoine Jones Zeno; along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
He is preceded in death by his father, Antoine Zeno Sr.
Family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. until the time of the service at 2:00 p.m., Friday, November 7, 2025, at Riley Smith & Sons Funeral Home, 1810 W. 4th Street, DeQuincy, Louisiana. Rev. Charles Braneff Jr. will be officiating.
