Joe was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Frank Schutzenhofer; and his sister, Bertha Tojo.

He also leaves many nieces and nephews (to many of which he was their "Favorite Uncle"). Joe will be remembered for his love of life, his sense of humor, and his love for his family. He lived his life on his terms with passion, love, and laughter. Honoring Joe as pallbearers will be Stuart Talbot, Jerome Lewis, Dave Schmidt, Robert Durante, Danny Wilburn, and Dan Felicetty. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital. The family would like to give a special thanks to the nurses on Three East and the respiratory therapists at Willis Knighton South.
