Mr. Joseph Zaid Fandey, 79, of Frederick, Maryland, passed away peacefully on December 12, 2023. He was the loving husband of the late Jane Fandey who passed away in 2010.

Born December 29, 1943 in Sante Fe, NM, Joseph was the son of the late Joseph and Edith Fandey. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy, worked as an engineer and retired from the Consumer Products Safety Commission. While his children were young, he pursued and received his law degree from the University of Baltimore. He brought his engineering and legal expertise together to push for changes that saved countless lives, especially within the gas appliance industry.

He spent his formative years in Truth or Consequences, NM and returned there after retirement where he enjoyed renovating his childhood home, expanding his bawdy joke catalog, building his legal practice, and setting up a woodshop to build beautifully crafted furniture and gifts. In addition to being a grudging cat dad for most of his adult life, he was also a skilled musician and loved playing jazz on his trumpet and saxophone.

Mr. Fandey is survived by his sons, Daniel Fandey & wife Char of Reston, VA, and Mike Fandey & wife Leyla of Gaithersburg, MD; sister, Lisa Astrolio; brother, Henry Daniel Fandey; three grandchildren; and lots of great cousins, nieces, and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research or Blinded Veterans Association.
