Joey never knew a stranger. He made friends with everyone he encountered and always made them feel loved and welcomed. To know him, was to love him and he had a HUGE impact on the community of Glasgow. Because of his heart and love, the entire community is crushed by his early departure. There will never be another Joey Stockton and everyone will remember him for his laughter, love, friendship, jokes, and joy. As someone once said, “Joey epitomized the expression, ‘salt of the Earth,’ and that is something you can’t say very often.”
“’Tis a fearful thing to love what death can touch. A fearful thing to love, to hope, to dream, to be – to be, And oh, to lose. A thing for fools, this, And a holy thing, a holy thing to love. For your life has lived in me, your laugh once lifted me, your word was gift to me. To remember this brings painful joy. ‘Tis a human thing, love, a holy thing, to love what death has touched.” – Yehuda Halevi
