When I first talked with Joey about getting a tattoo I wandered around his work room admiring his paintings.  I am a painter and so was amazed at his skill, and of course had never thought about how tattoo artists could translate their work to canvas.  I bought a copy of the baby duck painting and love it.  He told me the story behind the painting and it squeezed my heart.  Joey was so precious and easy to be with and I will forever remember him every time I look in the mirror and see my tattoo.  I loved him.

I am so heartbroken to hear the loss of one of the most kindest humans that just made the world a little more brighter. My first tattoo was by him and so many more after. I wish I could have had one last hug. He'll be missed. ;3  My condolences to his family. *hugs*

Oh my... Joey was such a special person to whom I am grateful to have met and encountered inlife. I loved his smile and easy going personality. His artwork was absolutely beautiful and I purchased an amazing painting that i still have with me. So dad to hear of his passing. He will be a favorite amongst the angels...

Joey helped me through a very tough day and we immediately bonded.  My son's birthday was February 12th and he had passed away in 2015.  Nearing  his birthday in 2016 I was totally bereft and unable to decide how to honor him that year on his special day.  I made an appointment to have Joey do a tattoo for me, which he helped me design.  I did not know that Joey knew Zack so the whole experience was very emotional for us both.  We became fast friends and I will love him dearly until my last day.  THAT day was made possible because of Joey's empathy and understanding.  I am proud to say I bear his handiwork.  He was a beautiful human.

My condolences to Joseph ( Joey)'s family. I first met Joseph ( Joey) when we worked  on the OBX and we became really close, enough to get matching tattoos, he made me a thoughtful bracelet and we shared art and part of our heart belongs to each other. We had a bond that most probably didn't know of. So I'm extremely sad and really missing him right now more than ever. My condolences goes out to his family and friends.

I've known you since I can remember. I can't believe there is a world that we have to go on without you! I know you are up there with your family smiling down on us. 

There will never be a time that I don't think about or remember you! You have always had my back and I will never forget you!

Prayers and thoughts with the whole family!!!!!
