Joseph was born to the late Vivian J. Santos and the late Charles C. Bevis. He leaves two children, Joseph Abate-Walsh of North Andover, MA and Julianna Tessier of Florida; three brothers, John Santos of New Hampshire, Lucas Tiberio of Cumberland and Tyler Hayward of Holden, MA; two sisters, Jeniffer Santos of Providence and Justine Santos of Worcester, MA; and longtime friend Christopher McDonald. Joseph also leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Joseph was a construction worker who worked alongside his younger brother Lucas for the last several years. Joseph was often described as a gentle giant with his large 6 foot 6 inch and 230 pound frame and with a personality and heart to match. He was outgoing and charismatic and was loved by all who knew him. He will be missed tremendously by many.
Visitation will be held Thursday, 4-7 p.m. with a service at 7 p.m. in the PONTARELLI-MARINO Home, 971 Branch Avenue, Providence. Burial will be private.
