It is with the heaviest heart and great sadness that I am here writing this. My cousin Joey, but most importantly a father, friend, and uncle, and much more lost his life unexpectedly Friday Dec 20, 2024, the day before his 42nd birthday. Joey left behind his girlfriend of 10 years Megan, and 5 children ranging from 19 to their youngest being only 3 years old. Joey had many friends and family that loved him dearly, his unexpected and sudden death has left us all completely heartbroken and has put his family in an unimaginable position right before what is supposed to be a loving, happy, family filled time of year. Christmas will never be the same for his kids again.
Outside of work, Joey enjoyed riding dirt bikes with his 4 boys, niece and nephew James and London. Joey enjoyed sports and he was the coach of a little league football team for a short while. I think he got the most pleasure though going to work knowing he is providing a life for his family. Being a father was his greatest honor.
He'd probably hate that I even made this account for him, but it gives me some peace knowing that he will see everyone come together in his honor for his family in this very hard and confusing time.
Any donations made I will make sure go directly to help his family with funeral costs, then evenly distributed towards the kids to make sure they have a good Christmas. We know no amount of money will change anything, but making sure they have one less thing to worry about this holiday season is all I am looking to come out of this. The bills are going to start piling up quick and if theres any way we can help make sure his kids have what they need will give Joey and his family some peace.
I will update this post when funeral arrangements have been made.
Thank you <3
