After staying JoeMo Strong for 18 months, Joseph V. Moran’s cancer journey ended peacefully, surrounded by his family, on November 5, 2020. He was 58. The love and prayers shared by all of Team JoeMo meant so much to Joe and supported him to the very end.
He is survived by the love of his life, his wife Susan (Cunningham) Moran, his devoted children Kevin Moran, Olivia Moran Kamm (Tyler Kamm), Kayla Moran and Hannah Haynes, Mollie Haynes & Jack Haynes. #sogreat2be8
He is also survived by his faithful parents Robert & Annette (Madonna) Moran, siblings Michael Moran (Suzan Moran), Valerie DeVelasco, and Steven Moran (Ken Malian), Uncle Jimmy, Uncle Danny & Aunt Sheryl, many nieces, nephews, and cousins, as well as his in-laws, George Cunningham, the late Patricia B. Cunningham, Virginia Van Wicklin, Fred Van Wicklin, David Cunningham & Chris Thibeau.
Born and raised in Somerville, NJ, Joe was a proud ‘80 graduate of Immaculata before earning three degrees from Villanova University (V’s Up!). He eagerly jumped into the energy consulting field, most recently as executive consultant at ESTA International. He was sought after on new projects for his deep experience but also for being a great colleague.
Sue and Joe were a perfect team who brought people together and shared the love they had for each other with everyone around them. Joe was the family guide, the anchor. A piece of Joe can be found in all of his children: his work ethic, understanding of numbers, reciting every line of his favorite movie Elf, excitement for sports, embracing every moment, every problem has a solution, and the importance of family. So Great 2 be 8 was Joe’s greatest joy, source of pride, and love.
Joe had kindness for all and a passion for life—making Wildcat fans of his family through Villanova basketball games, tailgating, stumbling upon tiki bars, sitting under an umbrella at the beach, attending countless concerts, turning any word or phrase into a burst of song, taking daily trips to the grocery store, cooking his famous Chicken on the Stove and Sunday Night meatballs, eating nightly bowls of ice cream, having morning coffee with his wife in bed—the simple things in life.
Joe loved having a good time surrounded by family and friends embodied by one of Joe’s favorite song lyrics “But this family table's held together by love that never dies”. Joe’s table always had room for one more. He also cherished the quiet moments with those he loved. Everybody that met Joe, fell in love with his gentle soul.
Joe’s courage and strength during his cancer battle were unwavering and heroic. Joe, Sue and the family were supported by many medical “angels” along the way, notably Dr. Louise Connell, Ms. Kristina Savoly, and Ms. Olivia Toscano of Memorial Sloan Kettering. But most especially our dear friend Dr. Jimmy Pellicane, who walked every step with us.
The family would be honored for your support to Heart Works (19 Morristown Rd, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920) or to the Unitas Caritas Immaculata (P.O. Box 8556, Somerville, NJ 08876) two organizations that have deep meaning for the family.
Joe’s family will receive friends and loved ones at Cusick Funeral Home in Somerville NJ on Monday, November 9th from 4:00PM-8:00PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 10th at 9:30AM at the Church of the Immaculate Conception also in Somerville NJ.
