Joey was the kind of person who could light up any room with his humor and silliness. He had the biggest heart, loving deeply—even those who didn’t always deserve it. Joey never met a stranger, and his warmth and kindness touched everyone he met. As a twin, a devoted partner, and a loving father, he brought joy and laughter to his family and friends. He finally found peace and love with his amazing girlfriend, her children, and his own son, creating a blended family full of happiness.

Joey’s journey wasn’t always easy. Born prematurely, he fought for his life from day one and continued to show strength and resilience throughout his 32 years. His passing was completely unexpected and has left our family heartbroken. I am on full disability, and none of us are wealthy. The sudden loss has brought not only emotional pain but also financial challenges we weren’t prepared for. Joey’s son is now with his grandfather and his grandfather's wife, and they will also need support. Joey also leaves behind two sisters and three other brothers, in addition to his twin, who are all grieving this tremendous loss.

We are raising funds to help cover Joey’s funeral, memorial, and cremation expenses, and to provide some support for his son and family during this incredibly difficult time. My family and I would appreciate anything you could possibly help with to make Joey’s final farewell and celebration of his life a bit financially easier on all of us. We loved him so much, and I know many others did as well. God bless you all.
