Joe Moran

July 9, 1972 — January 28, 2025

Joe Anthony Moran, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, was born on July 9, 1972, in Los Angeles. At 52 years of age, he passed away peacefully at UCLA Santa Monica Hospital on January 28, 2025, after bravely battling cancer for nearly two years. Joe built a successful formal menswear business from the ground up, showing dedication and hard work that mirrored the values instilled in him by his parents, Eduardo and Susana, who predeceased him.

Joe was a man of many admirable qualities. Described by those who knew him as a great man, he possessed a warmth akin to that of a teddy bear. His sense of humor made him easy to love, while his remarkable supportive nature left a lasting impact on everyone around him. He was an amazing father to his daughter, Samantha (5), and a devoted husband to his wife, Lily Taihuttu, with whom he shared countless cherished moments at their home in Winnetka, California.

Among his treasured memories, weekends dedicated to preparing his favorite Guatemalan breakfast stand out, as well as memorable days spent on the beach with Samantha. Joe also had a fondness for spending time with his dogs, Roscoe and Edison, engaging in playful activities that brought joy to his life.

In addition to his roles as a husband and father, Joe was a supportive brother to Eddie and Raymond, always willing to lend a hand without expecting anything in return. He was also a steadfast friend to Andrew, Jorge and Mr. Bean, whose lives he touched with his kindness and laughter.

Those who knew Joe will remember him not just for his humor and warmth but for the deep love he shared with his family and friends. His legacy will undoubtedly live on in the hearts and minds of those who were fortunate enough to know him. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to American Bladder Cancer Society, 12 Flansburg Avenue, Dalton, MA 01226-1409. 

A Memorial service to honor Joe's life will be held on February 8, 2025, at Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills - Old North Church in Los Angeles, starting at 11:30, finishing at 1.
