Joseph Dominic "Joey" Vicari

1987 - 2022

It is with tremendous heartache and sorrow, that the family of Joseph Dominic Vicari, 35, Monticello, announces his unexpected passing on June 5, 2022.

Joey was born on April 2, 1987, in Crown Point, and was so loved by his family. His smile and sense of humor lit up their lives. He was self-styled, ever so talented and handsome to boot!

Joey is survived by his mother, Lisa Ann (Michael) Hurd and his maternal half-siblings, Rachel (Charles) Karge and Michael Hurd; maternal grandparents, James and Lana Will; aunt, Mary Schoon; uncles, Robert Will (Tena) and Robert Corbin; as well as four maternal nieces, nephews and six cousins.

Joey is also survived by his father, Jonathan (Christine) Vicari; his paternal grandmother, Nancy Vicari; aunts and uncles, David (Patti) Vicari, Michael Vicari, Susan (Tony) Zdanowicz, Anne (Walter) Diambri, Lisa (Michael) Zdanowicz, Patricia (Jack) Lewis, Paul (Anne) Vicari and Daniel (Sarah) Vicari; 24 paternal cousins and 13 second cousins.

Joey was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Dominic Vicari Jr., IBEW Hammond Local 697. His greatest pride was following in his grandpa's footsteps Joey was a member of IBEW Indianapolis Local 1393, working as a foreman on the Dunns Bridge Solar Farm project out of IBEW LaPorte Local 531.

Selflessly, Joey's prior direction upon his death was that he donate his organs and he has helped many recipients with that precious gift of life."

Joey's family will hold a private service and celebration of his life. His beloved dog, Rocky, was at his side when he passed away. As such, please consider a donation in Joey's name to the White County Animal Wellness Center. Donations can be made through White County Community Foundation at www.cfwhitecounty.org.
