Giuseppe Antonio Gianni, affectionately known as Joe, passed away on September 13, 2026, at the age of 38. Joe grew up in Glenn Dale, Maryland, in a large family, where he was often surrounded by food, laughter and good times.
Joe was a hardworking, loving, and genuine person who brought laughter and joy to those around him. He was known for his quick sense of humor and his ability to crack a joke, always finding a way to make people smile. If he made fun of you, you were one of the lucky ones he loved! He had a natural curiosity and loved tinkering with cars, fishing and riding dirt bikes.
Joe took great pride in his work and was dedicated to building a successful career in the electrical industry. He spent 13 years working for Pepco before continuing to grow professionally as an Electrical Project Manager. Throughout his career, he worked with several companies, including Amazon Web Services, DigitaLogic, and Dominion Energy. Joe's intelligence, determination, and strong work ethic allowed him to continually take on new challenges and advance in his career.
While Joe was proud of his career, his greatest accomplishment and source of pride was his family. He was an amazing and caring husband and father who always made sure Amy and Joey had everything they needed. He loved taking family walks, pushing Joey or the swing, and singing songs to him before bed.
He is survived by his wife, Amy Gianni; his son, Giuseppe Antonio Gianni, Jr. (Joey); his mother, Patricia Gianni; his sisters, Maureen Morrone and her husband, Dominick Morrone, and Christina (Nina) Ganey and her husband, Alan Ganey; his nieces, Gemma Ganey and Giuliana Ganey and his nephew, Nico Morrone. He was preceded in death by his father, Giuseppe Gianni, and his sister, Ashleah Gianni.
Though his life was far too short, the love Joe gave his family will continue through his son, through Amy, and through the memories he created with everyone he held dear. His laughter, his jokes, his stories, and his presence will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Joe. You will always be loved, always be remembered, and forever be missed.

From: Steven Stover
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend, Joey.
Ever since Steven and Joey met in middle school, our family has felt the warmth and kindness of the Gianni family. We were blessed to be included in so many family celebrations and special moments over the years.
Some of our most treasured memories were created through the passion we both shared for motocross. We hold close to our hearts the many times we spent together at SMDR rides, Budds Creek, Tomahawk, and some other tracks. Those days, filled with friendship, laughter, and a shared love of riding, will always hold a special place in our hearts.
It has been especially meaningful to watch Joey grow into a loving husband and nurturing father. His love for his family and the joy he brought to those around him will be remembered always.
Our lives are richer because of the friendship and relationship we shared with Joey. We are grateful for the memories we hold so dear and will carry them with us always.
With heartfelt sympathy and love,
The Stover Family
Steve, Julie, Heather, Steven & Joshua
