I met Joey framing back in 2007 and since then we were good friends. whenever I was home from college, always knew i could count on him to go hunting with me even if he was working he'd tell me to give him 30 minutes and he'd be there. Joey will always be in my thoughts and truely missed.

I first met Joey a year and a half ago and he is just one of those people that you automatically get along with and everbody loves. He is an amazing person and an amazing best friend to me. I'll always miss my best friend who was always true to himself and honest with me. He would always make my bad days better by teasing me about some joke we might have made before or something embarassing that happened to one of us. He was always there for me and I will continue to always be there for him and especially his family.

Joey always stayed true to himself...that is the one thing that sticks out in my mind when I think of him he didn"t care who you were or what you thought he was who he was! and I loved that about him...if you wanted a true opinion ASK JOEY! you might not have liked what you heard but he was honest...Victoria is truly lucky to have a precious son to remember him by and to keep his spirit alive...until we meet again Joey...

Growing up, Joey always protected me and taught me how to protect myself. I owe a lot to him. He is loved and missed by people everywhere.

Everyone's days are numbered and I suppose that's fair; but it's not fair when someone dies so young. Joey was my nephew and as I think back he was always willing to help people, he liked to dream big and he always had fun. Fishing was his passion and most people say they would like to pass away doing something they love; Joey certainly did but in a way I just can't imagine. May he forever rest in peace.
