Joseph Micciche
October 20, 1951 — March 11, 2022
Joseph Micciche Sr., age 70, of St. Peters, Missouri passed away on Friday, March 11, 2022 in St. Peters, Missouri. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri on October 20, 1951 to Charles and Doris Micciche (nee Rhoads).
Joseph is survived by his Son, Joseph Micciche, Jr. of Las Vegas, NV; Daughter, Christina M (John) Lindemann of St. Peters, MO; Grandson, Michael James Micciche; Grandson, Tyler Earl Lindemann; Granddaughter, Kaitlyn Marie Lindemann; Brother, Charles "Chuck" Micciche, Jr. and a host of other family members and friends.
He was preceded in death by his Father, Charles Micciche Sr.; Mother, Doris Micciche; Stepmother, Emma Sue Micciche and Brother, Vincent "Jim" Micciche.
Joseph dedicated his life to protecting others by serving in the United States Military, Army Division, during the Vietnam War. Once discharged, he began his career by following his father's footsteps in the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, where he served in several specialty divisions including Mobile Reserve, Traffic and his most cherished, the K-9 Unit. Joseph was a devoted animal lover, and in the K-9 Unit, he befriended his most cherished partner and fur baby, Bert, a highly trained German Shepard. After leaving the SLPD, he served as Chief of Police in multiple St. Louis County Municipalities.
Later in his life, Joseph dedicated himself to God and was very active in his church. Joseph loved his pets and enjoyed the outdoors, camping, and fishing.
Most that knew Joseph referred to him as Cheech, whether it was a friend, neighbor, or someone he just met. He was always cracking jokes and helping to bright light to a difficult situation. He accepted people for the way they were and didn't judge. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren. Joseph loved his dog Jessie Bo and was comforted that during his illness his daughter took him in to care for him.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to The Backstoppers Inc., PO Box 795168, St. Louis, MO 63179-0700 in Joseph's honor.
