Family and Community Grieve Together

At 38, Joseph Anthony DiMarco left behind a legacy of devotion—to his wife, children, and the countless lives he shaped.

As the son of Darlene DiMarco, Joe cherished his roots and the bonds that defined his journey.

Though preceded by his father Rolando and grandparents Joseph & Theresa Garcia and Antonio & Costanza DiMarco, Joe’s greatest joys were his family and the boys he coached.

He found purpose in nurturing young talent, believing deeply in their potential to thrive beyond the diamond.

His relationships extended to in-laws Erin Moore and niece Viviana, enriching his life with warmth and connection. He was a steadfast friend to Michael Spataro and Megan, becoming a godfather to their daughter Avery.

Joe lived with intensity—loving fiercely, working diligently, and leaving an imprint that transcends time.

His absence creates a void, yet his spirit endures in every smile of his sons, every cheer from the baseball field, and every life he uplifted.

Funerals were held May 28–29, 2026, at George Irvin Green Funeral Home, followed by a peaceful resting at Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh. Rest in Peace, Coach Joe.
