It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Joey at Canuck Place surrounded by the love of his family.
Joey is survived by his parents Andrew and Brittany, his big sister Isabella, his paternal grandparents Mike and Nancy and his maternal grandparents Jim and Carol Vukets.
Joey was born on June 18, 2021 and was the kind of baby that all parents dream of having. He was sweet, gentle, patient, joyful and kind. He lived for hugs and cuddles, and he was incredibly easy to be with and to be around. He had an insurmountable joie de vivre and he found great pleasure in the simple beauties of life. He especially loved when the sun shone through the trees, the sound of his sister’s voice and to lounge in and kick off the edge of a warm bath. When he was happy, he would nibble our noses and his face would erupt into the biggest, most charming smiles. He was a true little gentleman with great strength and courage. He passed on Easter morning, April 17, 2022, from a rare metabolic disorder.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Joey, to Canuck Place ( https://www.canuckplace.org/donate/ )
Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 am on Thursday, May 12 at Good Shepherd Parish (2250 150th Street, Surrey, BC)
