Joey could make anyone laugh with his crazy actions and jokes, but he also had a quiet side. He was kind, respectful and caring. He loved playing video games with his brother, Jacob, who thinks the world of him, and he loved to hang out with all his friends.

There are many family members and friends who were close to Joey and loved him dearly. While he was growing up Joey had a special connection with his cousins, Brandon, Danielle, Kodty and Samantha McDonald. He is not thought of as a cousin to these four young adults, he is thought of as a brother. He was also close to his other cousins, Zack, Tabitha, Levi, Kealee Bea, Eric Shyla and Jada.
