Joseph “Joey” Lappin passed away on October 28, 2022, just a few weeks shy of his 31st birthday.

To know Joey was to love him. Those who were able to spend even a second with Joey know how much he meant to his family and close friends. The following was written by a very dear friend, Nick Fitzgerald, and puts into words what Joey's family cannot at this time:

“Joey was always the light in the room, the party of the gathering, and the laughter of the conversation. Sometimes we think we learn a lot from the millionaire, the CEO, the #1 author. Well, I learned more than I can express from Joey Lappin. His will to learn something new every day. His love and compassion. His motivation to keep waking up and conquering each day when life handed him difficulties from day 1…He touched so many people’s lives in ways that most of us will never be capable of. His legacy will live on forever, and we will see him again one day in Heaven.”

Joey is survived by his parents, Joseph and Susan, sisters, Jennifer and Carly, and grandmothers, Joan Pilarz and Doris Lappin. He will forever be the guardian angel of his nephews and nieces: Reed, Blake, Skylar, Marin, and Clara. Joey will be missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and friends.  

Joey graduated from Hebron High School in Lewisville, TX in June 2013. As he walked across the stage, he received a standing ovation from his teachers, classmates, family, and friends. While attending Hebron, Joey spent his time building relationships with peers through the Circle of Friends program.
