In Memoriam: Joseph Pizzolato, Jr.

    Joseph "Joey" Anthony Pizzolato, Jr, 35, a native of north Baton Rouge, resident of Central, passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2014.  He was a loving son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and friend.  Joey Jr was an adrenaline seeker, daredevil, and adventurist who enjoyed being one with nature and lived his life to the fullest.  He was an animal lover and through the years had a variety of pets. Joey Jr had a heart of gold and was known as a very generous, caring soul who extended himself to everyone.  He rarely met a person he couldn't make laugh or smile with his huge personality, infectious smile, and beautiful blue eyes.  He enjoyed anything fast, especially ATVs and motorcycles, spending time with his two nephews, godsons Jake Wyble and Brody Pizzolato, making people laugh, being the life of any party, and collecting as many animals for pets as he could.  
    Joey Jr is survived by his loving parents Joey Pizzolato, Sr. and Siri Kilcrease Pizzolato; sister Cassie Pizzolato; nephews Jake and Max Wyble; grandmother Mary Lee Pizzolato; longtime love and best friend Aida Richey and many relatives.  He was preceded in death by his grandfather Anthony "Tony" Pizzolato, Sr.; grandfather Henry Clayton Kilcrease; grandmother Emily Lea Kilcrease; and Crystal Candella.
