Joe M. Zizzi, age 70, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 30, 2021, at The Methodist Hospital in The Woodlands, Texas, surrounded by his wife and daughter. He was born on April 9, 1951 in Corpus Christi, Texas to Dominick and Amelia (Warren) Zizzi.

Joe truly enjoyed life. He lived an active lifestyle and some of his favorite things to do were bowling, golfing, cruising, and traveling abroad. One of Joe’s greatest accomplishments was his sign company that he owned which allowed him to retire at the young age of 54 to enjoy the rest of his days doing what he loved!
