Lynda and I are so sorry for your loss. Joey spent a week at our house, installing a new floor. Really got a chance to visit with him, while he was here. He was a great young Man. I am sure you were very proud of him. I know words are a small consolation at a time like this. We feel Blessed to have known him. Joe and Lynda Grant
My deepest sympathy in your time of grief. I only barely knew Joey, but had a lot of fun at Hipshers’ playing all sorts of yard games. He was a competitive player and great team mate in the games.

Dear family, You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Joey’s kind heart and warm smile touched all who knew him. The care and attention he gave to our carpet needs, after a tornado hit our house was a testament to who he was. A generous young man dedicated to excellence! Our hearts can’t reconcile this loss. The world needs more people like Joey! We will continue to pray and look forward to the day we see Joey again.
