Mr. Joey P. McClure Jr.

Joey McClure, 57, of the Erwin Hills Community, passed away on Rice Pinnacle Wolf Branch Trail in Bent Creek while doing what he loved – mountain biking with his brother. He lived in the Erwin Hills community his entire life. He was a graduate of Clyde A. Erwin High School and AB Tech and was currently employed at Eaton Corporation. Joey found his greatest joy in spending time with his family and caring for his parents. He was an avid hunter, mountain biker and radio-control operator of planes, helicopters, and cars. He was preceded in death by his dog, Pepper. He is survived by his parents, Joe and Charlotte McClure.; siblings, David (Denise) McClure, Debbie (Randy) Trantham, and Connie (Laurent Toscano) Roberts; nieces and nephews, Michael (Lauren), Jennifer (Cory), Savannah (Jo and Jake), Jeremy (Amber), Corey (Samantha), Lindsey (Ben) and Clint (Jasmine); great nephews, Blakely, Jackson, and Reagan and many friends.
