Joey Smith, a deacon, a spiritual warrior, and a good friend, died yesterday. Much could be said about Joey’s life and his model for others. The greatest thing about Joey was his balance. Joey was disciplined in his family life, his finances, his church commitment, his work, his friendships, his recreation, and his spiritual life. In fact, I could not name an area in Joey’s life that was not disciplined.
Joey’s death was unexpected and a tragedy for his family and for everyone who held him dear — which was a multitude. I pray that in the day’s ahead those of us who knew Joey might be more like him for others. I pray that our discussion of his life might inspire young men to step up to the plate in honoring God and blessing others.
Marsha, Josh, and Macy — we love you and are praying for you. Thanks Joey for a life well lived!
