Joe C. (Born Joseph Calleja)
November 9, 1974 – November 16, 2000
Joe C. was a Michigan born rapper who gained fame as sideman to Kid Rock during the latter’s live performances. Joe C. made his recording debut on Rock’s 1998 release, Rebel Without A Cause, and in 1999, he provided a solo track for the South Park soundtrack. Joe C. suffered from an autoimmune disorder called Celiac disease his entire life. The condition kept him from growing past 3 feet 9 inches tall and caused him to live in pain most of the time. He once stated that he had to take as many as 80 pills a day in order to live a relatively healthy lifestyle. Joe C., 26, succumbed to the disease while asleep at his parents house on November 16, 2000.
