Surrounded by his family Joey passed away at Joseph Brant Hospital, Burlington, on Thursday, August 8, 2019 at the age of 51. In the 8 months Joey battled cancer, he never gave up and insisted “I got this”. Joey is the beloved husband of Cheryl (nee Mulé), loving father of Katrina and Jack, cherished brother of Mary Jo Heeney (Mike), Michael (Kathleen), and Stephen (Laura) and loved son-in-law of Charles and Ethel Mulé. Joey will be dearly missed by all his nieces, nephews and many friends. He is also predeceased by his parents Joseph and Mary Frances (nee Brown).

Joey was a huge fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs so we know the cup will be coming home soon.
