Publish in a newspaper

Mr. Luther Joseph "Joey" Croley, age 67, passed away on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, in Pensacola, Florida. A native of Crestview, Florida, Joey's life journey led him through the charming towns of Fairhope and Daphne, Alabama, before he ultimately settled in Castleberry, a community that embraced him for the past forty years. Known for his warm spirit and kind heart, Joey touched the lives of many with his genuine nature and infectious smile. His legacy will undoubtedly live on in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to know him. As friends and family gather to celebrate his life, they will remember not only his contributions to the community but also the love he shared with everyone around him.

He had a deep passion for the great outdoors, always excited about hunting and fishing whenever he could. Riding motorcycles gave him a thrill, and he loved the freedom it brought. A devoted Alabama football fan, he would cheer loudly during the games, sharing those moments with family and friends. He enjoyed watching westerns, finding joy in their stories and adventures. His work took him traveling to many places, but he always treasured the time spent with loved ones. Food was another of his loves, with carrot cake being his absolute favorite treat.

Mr. Croley is survived by his sisters, Mary Abbott of Brewton, Alabama and Janet Croley of Brewton, Alabama; niece and nephew, Tracey Parr (Tracy) of Baytown, Texas and Amanda (Gene) Carpenter of Brewton, Alabama; great niece and nephew, Zack (Crystal) Williams of Brewton, Alabama and Allie Parr of Baytown, Texas.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Luther and Mary Lois Wright Croley; sister, Sarah Mae Croley.
