Thank you for sharing this with everyone! Joey is a wonderful person and every time that I have seen/visited with him, you can't help but leave with a smile. I hope I am able to go to the fundraiser show on 04/20.

My dad had the same diagnosis in July 2011, he went through countless surgeries and treatments, and is cancer free to this day thankfully. It is a tough road for him, but with a good spirit, prayer, and a good support team including the family, friends and doctors, hopefully Joey can make it.

Joey riley passed away last night..  I saw the notice on Terry Sanders FB page,,,

Here is the quote from Joeys fan page;

"It is with the deepest sadness that I inform all of Joey's fans, supporters and friends that Joey passed away last night. He went to Heaven peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by those who loved him. He will be missed by many, but we know he is in a better place, reunited with his mother and father and those who have gone before him. The Riley family can't thank everyone enough for all the love, support and kindness you have showed us during this trying time. Details about services will be shared as soon as arrangements are made.""

I also learned of the news on Facebook. Joey had one heck of a smile, and his laughter warmed the hearts of many.
