Joey also leaves to cherish his memory, a very special friend Kendall Calhoun.
Without complaint, he bravely fought his illness, often saying... "I see people all the time that are sicker than me." Joey never met a stranger, and loved everyone... His kind and courageous spirit will be deeply missed.
