  5. I didn’t like babies until I held you in my arms and became an aunty. You’ve changed my heart forever buddy with that big bright smile of yours and warm caring hugs. We will miss you forever…

  6. When I remember you, I’ll always remember you as “Joey”. From the time you were a baby playing in the sandbox with my daughter till now you will always be Joey. Joey my friends son, my daughters friend & adored by many, Joey had the kindest eyes when you looked at him, it was almost like you could see his good heart through them. My heart will forever be touched by our last conversation in the summer and what you said to me. Your friendship with my daughter no matter what paths separated you after grade school never changed. When she saw you, no matter what time past you were always Joey to her. Knowing that you both knew each other for the true souls you really are is a gift in itself. For the footprints you left on each others souls, this will always be remembered. Till you play in the sandbox again. We love you kid ❤️

  10. Dear Joey,
    Why’d you have to leave us so soon? You were always there to protect me, comfort me & put a smile on my face despite whatever you were going through. You are the most selfless person I know, always motivating others to live a better life than you. You left us with Nothing but positive memories to cherish and I promise not to be sad much longer about your passing, better yet we’ll celebrate your life because we know that’s what you’d want. Everything we do we gon do for you. You have so much respect for women , and I’m honoured you treated me like one of your sisters. You’ve impacted so many lives with your beautiful soul, Honestly helped make me the person I am today. I haven’t known you the longest, but I knew how solid of a person you were from the jump and we’ve had such a strong bond ever since. Im going to miss our real talks everyday ! Your legacy shall live on Joey . You was the greatest, you’ll always be the greatest. Love and miss you already, rest easy big bro, I know you’re watching over us all 🌹🙏🏽💙😁

  11. It is with a heavy heart that I learned Joey had passed away, I will also remember his smile and beautiful hugs. Time would pass that we won’t see each other but Joey always had a hug for me when our paths crossed. Pleasant memories of the stories his grandpa would tell of his Joey. My kids had the pleasure of seeing Joey growing up and start school as grandma was our babysitter. Taken way to much too soon. RIP Joey.

  12. Joey, I was always a fan of yours and loved watching you grow into a man. My heart aches at the thought that I won’t have an opportunity to see you smile or share a laugh. When I close my eyes I will think of you fondly and remember the good moments and the proud ones as I saw you turning your life around. You were taken away much too soon. Take care of one another up there and know that the love that your family and friends have for you, will live forever in our hearts and minds. Rest in Peace my friend. Ox.

  13. The news was both shocking and heartbreaking. Joey came to our martial arts school with his parents a few years back as a young boy. It was adorable seeing them together, especially when Joey wanted to spar with his father Dominic to see if he could beat him :). I will never forget those moments and the way his bright, innocent young face would shine. I know its still shining in a better place. I can’t imagine a more difficult loss for Annie and Dom. Sending all my love and prayers to you all. I pray your family reunites with you one day soon. God bless you Joey and your whole family. Until we meet again 💙

  14. Once upon a twilight streak
    I cried upon your name
    Like the tear upon my cheek
    Across the sky your flame

    I wished upon your magic sight
    A kiss upon your gleam
    With lips a whisper O’ so quiet
    My silent hopes and dreams

    Then you vanished from my sky
    Your twilight life so fleeting
    It’s sad we had to say goodbye
    So quickly after meeting

    I will come to find you soon
    My friends upon night’s sky,
    Wherever souls are wishfully strewn
    Like whispers, when we die.

  15. My deepest condolences to you and your family. You are in my prayers. May peace and comfort find you during this difficult time.

  16. I had the pleasure of being Joey’s Scout Leader for many years, when he was in Beavers and then again in Scouts. He was always a joy to be around, the entertainment at our camps and activities and continuously put a smile on everyone’s face! We appreciated that he was taught so much responsibility at home, as he was always willing to help with younger sections. He was always the first to volunteer for cooking, jumped in to help with cleaning or any other job that was required and never complained. I will always remember how he could make me burst out laughing to the point of tears and he is missed by many in our group.

Ziggy misses you deeply,he was so excited to go to school with you. But God had other plans for you my angel😇.so spread your wings and fly high. You will always be in my heart.

  18. It’s sad to see you leave so soon. We all just saw you at school on the first day back I didn’t believe it at first when I heard the news. Everyone will miss you and school will never be the same without you there. Not only did are school lose a student the world lost a great person. We may of only said a couple of words but it still is heartbreaking. Rest in peace Jospeh. You will always been in are prayers.

  19. Oh Joseph, I still cannot bring myself together and make sense to what happened! We talked and laughed and had such good times! You made me so much more positive about everything that ive gone through. You always looked out for everyone, put everyone before you. Every time I seen you, you had such a smile on your face. So many people are going through a hard time because you have impacted so many people’s lives! You are such an amazing person! You are loving and caring! Everyone shall remember you by your sweet smile and positive attitude. It’s hard to let go of a friend and move past this and I just can’t seem to. Shall we meet again in a better world and a better place! I love you and miss you Joseph! Forever in our hearts and never forgotten! ❤️

  20. Dear joey I don’t know you that well but . I remember when you would come to visit St. Joe’s I will never forget seeing you in the halls with a huge smile on your face . You will never be forgotten.

  24. Just remember the good old days when I was a 12 year old kid running around Jones park and having little Joey chasing me and my friends around just enjoying the nice summer days. Known him for a very long time sure we didn’t hang out much but remembering the joy he had when we were little kids running a muck in a park warms my heart to this day. I’m definitely gonna miss the guy it’s hard not to, he was funny, kind and caring no matter how terrible a day you were having he always knew how to make a guy smile. RIP Buddy see you again

  25. I miss you so much Joey💙 these days it feels like I’m going crazy without you I still can’t live without you. I don’t know what to do without you, sometimes I don’t even want to go on with my day knowing youre without me and I’m without you. Just knowing everyday I won’t be able to see you or hear your voice truly breaks my heart. Everyday I pray that someone will speak up for you baby that someday soon whoever did this to you gets what they deserve for taken you away from the people that love you. There’s not a day that’s gone by that I havent thought about you . You’re so special to me I’ll never stop thinking about you. You are truly my world I had a choice to love you. we loved each other unconditionally and our love for each other will never die🌏 I love you so much my soldier always in my mind always in my heart baby till we get to meet again💕

  26. Think about you everyday bro, im always seeing images and memorries in my head when i think of u, too many good times together. You were the only i could truthfully talk too about anything or problems i was having. could use some advice right now tbh. I miss you fam,things arent the same without you and nots fair. You had your whole life ahead of you and it was cut short. You were smart even tho you didnt like admitting it and you would have been a great dad. It feels like it was just yesterday were chillin in your backyard barbequeing and joking around.I miss those days. I know your still with us and watching over us makin sure were alright jus wish i could talk to you one last time. love you Bro

  27. Joey my love I miss you so much. Baby you were right I’m so lost without you. Everyday people are telling me it’s gunna get easier over time, those people lied. Everyday I’m seeing things that remind me of you and it hurts so much I just wanna be with you. I hate whoever did this to us we had so many years ahead of us. I’m so mad at myself baby I should have listen to you better I should have paid attention better. I should have held you tighter, I wish you never left me I’m so broken without you. All I have are our beautiful memories and I’ll forever carry them with me. I’ll always be dreaming of your beautiful smile and all the amazing times we’ve had together. I’ll love you forever Joe until the day we get to meet again. Always my one love🌎💙💙💙

  29. I miss you so much my sweet love. I wish it didn’t have to be like this, you were the only thing that made me smile in this world and I’ll hold onto that forever, I’ll hold onto every sweet memory we have together. This pain that I have still til this day is unbelievable it hurts me so much to be around your friends knowing I’ll never see my best friend again. Everything reminds me of you when I see your mother I see you, when I hear your dad I hear you, when I see Simone she reminds me of you. When I hear Victoria’s jokes I know she got her humor from you. I just miss you so much you were my world now my world is gone. I wish I could tell u again how much I love you I hope I see u soon joey you’re my brightest from this nightmare, your forever my everything.
