Mr Joseph Caparotta Jr.'s Obituary
Joseph (Joe) Caparotta, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 21, 2025, at the age of 81.
Born in New Orleans to Joseph (Sr.) and Josephine Caparotta, Joe was a proud graduate of St. Aloysius High School and Loyola University. He dedicated his career to accounting, making many lifelong friendships during his years as a CPA at NOPSI.
A devoted man of faith, Joe was a longtime parishioner of St. Louis King of France Catholic Church in Metairie, where he built lasting friendships and was an active part of the church community.
He is survived by his loving wife, Jane, and his three sons, Michael (Alita), Kevin (Kim), and Stephen (Christy), whom he shared with his first wife, the late Marcia. He was also blessed with stepdaughters Michelle (Donald) and Rochelle, as well as his stepson-in-law, Steve, whom he welcomed with open arms. He is also survived by his sister, Virginia.
Joe was a proud grandfather to David (Kevin & Kim), Eva, Olivia, and Sam (Michael & Alita), and Eliana and Clara (Stephen & Christy). He also cherished his step-grandchildren Eli and Cate (Rochelle), and Jordan, Chloe, Sam, and Levi (Michelle & Donald).
He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Sr. and Josephine, and his first wife, Marcia.
Joseph’s kindness, sarcastic wit, and unwavering devotion to his family and faith will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy of love and integrity will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
Visitation will be held at St. Louis King of France Catholic Church in Metairie on Saturday, March 29th at 10:00 AM., followed by a funeral mass at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN.
