Joseph B. Reddy, a resident of Medford and beloved son of Pastor John G. and Teresa M. (Kelleher) Reddy, passed away at the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital in Melrose on April 17, 2026. He was 33 years old.
Joseph was born in Fall River, Massachusetts on June 15, 1992. He was a graduate of Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School, class of 2011, specializing in Automotive Technology. Joseph was at his best tearing engines apart and making automobiles “hum”. In his spare time, he enjoyed snappy hair trims, rooting for the Celtics, and catching up with friends and family. Even in death, Joseph desired to be a blessing to others when he chose to be an Organ Donor benefiting multiple recipients throughout New England and beyond. He learned to think of others as a believer in the grace of Jesus extending to others.
Besides his beloved parents, Pastor John and Teresa, Joseph is survived by his loving siblings; Karen Reddy (husband Leonardo Montenegro) of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Alexander Reddy of Kansas City MO; Natasha Souza (husband Joseph Souza) of Springfield SC; Latoya Woodard of Easton MA; Nicole Woodard of Fairhaven MA; and Lenore Woodard of New Bedford MA. He leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family. He was born to Joseph Bertino, Jr and the late Lenore Emily Woodard. Joseph will be dearly missed by all.
