Joe Richard Tupy

Age 46 of Roseville. Loving Husband, Dad, Son, Brother, Uncle & Friend, passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025.

Joe lived his life with a spirit that was as colorful and bold as the clothes he wore. Generous, adventurous, and endlessly fun, Joe had a gift for sparking laughter, creating memories, and inspiring everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Strong, athletic, and full of life, Joe carried himself with an energy that drew people in. He could light up a room simply by being in it, and his unique sense of style—effortless, vibrant, and entirely his own—made him unforgettable.

Above all else, Joe’s proudest accomplishments were his roles as a loving husband and devoted father. Nothing brought him greater joy than spending time with his son Lincoln while skiing, playing baseball or soccer. Joe and his daughter Lucy shared a sense of togetherness and adventure that made them like two peas in a pod. His wife and children were the center of his world, and he poured his heart into every moment with them.

Joe’s interests reflected his love for both camaraderie and adrenaline. Whether riding his one wheel, snowboarding, dirt biking, golfing, playing hockey, or a casual game of whiffle ball, he embraced life with playful energy. He served his community as a proud member of the Roseville Finance Commission Board and shared countless stories and laughter as an honorary member of the Fulda Snowsliders.

What made Joe extraordinary wasn’t just what he did, but how he lived—with joy, courage, and generosity. He reminded us all to chase adventure, to laugh often, and to never underestimate the power of simply having fun. His legacy is one of inspiration, and his influence lives on in the countless lives he touched.

Joe leaves behind a family, a community, and a circle of friends who will forever carry his spirit forward—joyful, daring, and endlessly inspiring.
