Joseph "Joey" Cherry Memorial Scholarship Fund

Joseph “Joey” Cherry passed away on Wednesday, December 26, 2018 in Hammond, LA. Some of Joey's' proudest life moments are centered around his experiences in school and athletics. He attended Mary Queen of Peace Catholic School and loved football, baseball, and track. He was a 2015 graduate of St. Paul’s School where he was a track and football athlete. Joey’s specialty in track was the 110m and 300m hurdles. Joey played an integral role in three district, as well as three St. Tammany Parish Championships. Joey still holds the St. Paul’s school record for the 300m hurdles. Joey graduated from Northshore Technical Community College with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Diesel Mechanics. In 2017 and 2018, Joey returned to St. Paul’s to coach and mentor members of the track team. Through his quiet confidence and leadership, Joey’s efforts resulted in many successes on the track.

In lieu of flowers, to honor his legacy, Joey's family has established the Joseph “Joey” Cherry Memorial Scholarship Fund. All donations will be used to present an annual scholarship to a deserving St. Paul’s High School Senior. In addition to donating through the Go Fund Me Campaign, donations can be made directly to the Joseph “Joey” Cherry Memorial Scholarship Fund at any Fidelity Bank location.

We are forever grateful for your kind words, support, and prayers during this difficult time.
