Support the Legal Battle for Joseph's Legacy for his Son

Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Supporters,

We are heartbroken to share that our beloved friend, brother, son, and father, Joseph M. “Dewey” Hiser, has tragically passed away unexpectedly at the young age of 32. Joey’s sudden and gruesome passing has left us all in profound grief, and it’s difficult to find the right words to convey the depth of our sorrow and the void he has left in our lives. Joey was not only an incredible friend and family member, but he was also an exceptional father to his then 2.5 year old son, Colby, who now at the age of three, faces an uncertain future. Joey’s love and devotion to Colby were unparalleled.

Joey’s story is one of deep love and commitment. His son, Colby, was his greatest joy, and Joe’s dreams were to ensure that his legacy would live on through him. Tragically, Joey passed away before he could complete the process of officially putting his name on Colby’s birth certificate, a step that was crucial to secure Colby’s future and his rightful inheritance.

Now, Joey’s family is facing an additional challenge: navigating a lengthy, complicated & costly legal battle to have Joey’s name added to Colby’s birth certificate. Despite Joey’s clear intentions and the legal steps already taken, Colby’s mother is refusing to cooperate with the courts without valid reasons, refusing DNA testing and obstructing this process, adding an enormous financial burden to an already grieving family.

We are reaching out to you, our extended community, to ask for your help in raising funds to cover the significant legal fees required to overcome this challenge. Your support will be instrumental in ensuring that Colby’s birth certificate accurately reflects his father’s name and secures his rightful place in Joey’s legacy.

Joey’s family is committed to honoring his memory by ensuring that his son benefits from the legacy Joey hoped to leave behind. However, the refusal to cooperate from Colby’s mother and the complexity of the legal process have created an overwhelming financial burden. Legal battles are not only emotionally taxing but also extremely costly, and Joey’s family needs your help to navigate this challenging road.

Any amount, no matter how small, will make a significant difference. Your contributions will directly support the legal fees and other associated costs. If you are unable to contribute financially, spread the word by sharing this GoFundMe page with your network on all platforms PLEASE!!! The more people who know about Joey’s story, the greater the chance we have to reach our goal and get this court stuff situated for his son, Colby.

Joey was a remarkable individual whose presence touched the lives of many. His legacy lives on through the love he gave and the dreams he had for his son. By coming together, we can help ensure that Colby’s future reflects the love and commitment Joe had for him. Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support. Together, we can honor Joe’s memory and provide Colby with the stability and legacy he deserves.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Natalie Silvas
