Joseph Coute

Born in Portugal on April 21, 1956, he was the son of the late Jose and Virginia (Dias) Coute. Besides his wife, Joe is survived by his son, Jeremy Coute and his wife Sabrina of Wethersfield and his daughter, Christina Carreiro and her husband Elmer of Wethersfield. Joe was a proud grandfather of five granddaughters: Riley, Leah, Paige, Addison, and Harper that he adored. He loved attending all of their sports events cheering them on and was often the loudest grandpa in crowd! Joe is also survived by his sisters Tina Chaves and Josephine Gutierrez, both of Wethersfield. He will also be missed by his in-laws, many nieces, nephews and extended family.

Joe was hard working, kind and caring. He loved his family, friends and the Dallas Cowboys. Joe enjoyed going to work each day for CW Resources where he was known as “Uncle Joe” and worked there for over 10 years.

The family will receive relatives and friends from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursday (July 28th) at the D’Esopo Funeral Chapel, 277 Folly Brook Blvd., Wethersfield. Words of Remembrance will be shared by his family at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday evening in the chapel and all are welcome. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 9:30 am on Friday (July 29th) at Corpus Christi Church (Christ the King Parish) 601 Silas Deane Hwy, Wethersfield. The funeral procession will depart from the D’Esopo Funeral Chapel at 9 a.m. on Friday morning. Burial will follow at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford.

Joe believed helping others was the most important thing we could do in life. He was a proud organ donor and in his last act of kindness, Joe was able to give the gift of sight to another person. In honor of his kindness, the family has requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Joe’s name may be made to New England Donor Services, c/o Christina Carreiro, P.O. Box 290041, Wethersfield, CT 06129.
