Obituary:
Joey Hawkins Passed away, at the age of 15 years old, on September 27th, 2022. In his home in Lehi. Joey was born in American Fork on August 13, 2007, to Jason and Emily Hawkins. When we think of Joey we think of his huge smile and personality! He loved to talk a lot and be as loud as he possibly can. He loved the outdoors so much. Camping and fishing and riding his 4-wheeler. That was one of his greatest joys along with overnight camps with the youth and scouting. Joey loved fishing and he was able to go on some fun fishing trips with his uncle Mike and Steve. Joey also loved teasing his uncle Scott and of course, getting teased back brought him happiness. He truly loved spending time with his mom and going to any arcade and eating Takis until his fingers were red. His mom was his world, adored her so very much and wanted to make sure she was ok. Joey would talk about his grandpa Scott all the time and the memories he had with him. He loved going over to his friend Sebs house and spending all day playing video games. Some of his most precious moments are when he was able to be with his brother Jack that he looked up to so very much. They would play basketball together and watch movies and both felt like they had their own bachelor pad downstairs. His brother Jensen always had the patience to teach him anything he needed to learn from changing a tire to tying his tie. Joey loves his sisters so much and would have long talks with them often. He was able to have a great relationship with his biological sister Kayla in his teenage years. They would talk anime together and they were like long-lost twins and had so much in common. Joey absolutely loved spending time with his aunts Sydney, Sam, and Chloe and adored Syrus and Everly. Joey’s grandma Lisa was always a rock for him and made sure he was taken care of and loved. Joey was very adamant about joining the military and loved our country so very much. He was attending the Military academy in Lehi and was so very excited to serve our country and fight for our land that he valued the most. He always said, “Put me on the front line”. We want to thank everyone that has touched Joey's life in the Community, School, church, and his friends that he cherished and loved so much! Joey struggled with mental illness, and he is finally at peace. We were honored to have him in our lives! We also wanted to thank the first responders and the Lehi police department for all their efforts and compassion. Joey is survived by his father Jason Hawkins and his mother Emily Hawkins Moss, Proud guardians Jeff and Holly Hawkins, and Sister Kayla Bechtold. His grandmother Lisa Moss and His grandparents John and Delia Hawkins. He is proceeded in death by his grandfather Scott Moss Uncle James Moss and Uncle Joey Hawkins.
