About Joey Fecci:
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our dear friend Joey Fecci this summer. Joey, a vibrant and talented chef with big aspirations, tragically passed away at the young age of 26. He worked alongside our son Aaron and became an extended part of our family.
To honor Joey’s memory and his dedication to the culinary arts, we will be hosting a fundraiser dinner to raise money for a foundation in his name.
Joey’s passion for food and wine was matched only by his dedication to fitness and running. On April 27th, 2024, he participated in the Rock ‘n’ Roll St. Jude’s Run in Nashville, where he collapsed just a few miles from the finish line. Despite immediate medical attention, Joey was unable to be revived, leaving behind a community deeply saddened by his loss.
In honor of Joey’s memory and his dedication to the culinary arts, the family has established the Joey Fecci Foundation, a Tennessee 501c3 organization. This foundation will administer a culinary scholarship program in Joey’s memory, supporting aspiring chefs who wish to follow in his footsteps and carry on his legacy of culinary excellence.
We are so grateful for your support and look forward to celebrating Joey’s life and legacy with you.
