A son of Mary Garrett Young of Beach City and the late Russell Gregory Young, Joey was born July 25, 1991 at Millersburg, Ohio.

Joey attended New Philadelphia and Fairless Schools and was employed as a masonry worker.

He enjoyed “wrenching” on vehicles and was an avid fan of both football and basketball. He will be remembered most for his sweet personality and his keen sense of humor with the ability to make anyone laugh.

In addition to his father, Joey was preceded in death by his grandparents, John and Lois Garrett and Russell and Dorothy Young and two uncles, Mark Garrett and Bill Richesson.
