It’s with broken hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved brother, Joey. He left us far too soon, and while we are still processing the pain and heartbreak of this loss, we are reaching out to our community of family, friends, and loved ones for help during this incredibly difficult time.

Joey was fiercely intelligent, kind-hearted, and deeply loved by those who truly knew him. Though he battled personal demons, he also had a light that shined brightly—especially in moments when he could be the fun, protective, and loving brother and uncle we cherished so much. His absence leaves a void we’ll never be able to fill.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help cover the costs of Joey’s funeral and memorial arrangements. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help us give him the peaceful, dignified goodbye he deserves. Funds will go directly toward service expenses, a memorial gathering, and anything needed to honor his life.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with others who may have known or loved him. We also welcome your memories and stories, which help keep his spirit alive in the hearts of everyone who cared for him.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this painful time.

With love,

Elaina and Nicole
