Support Velasquez Family After Tragic Loss

With heavy hearts, we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our dear neighbor and friend, Joey Velasquez. Joey tragically lost his life in a serious car accident on icy roads early Sunday morning in Clay, New York.

Please keep Amy V and her daughters and Joey’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this unimaginable time. Their family has been an important part of our lives, and our children shared a special bond. Our families were incredibly close to them, making this loss even more profound.

To support Amy and the girls, we are organizing a Go Fund Me to help ease this burden.

Joey and I (Amy LaBounty) worked together at Eglin/7th, where we supported soldiers battling substance abuse. I have no doubt that his Army brothers and sisters are standing with them now.

We will share updates as we learn more. Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers. Please feel free to share this with people you feel would like to contribute.

UPDATE:

Thank you all for your incredible generosity in supporting the Velasquez family. Your donations will help provide meals for them in the weeks and months ahead, offering comfort during this difficult time. If you'd like to share this link, please do—it would mean so much. Our goal is to surround this wonderful family with love, support, and prayers as they navigate this challenging season.
