Help provide Joseph Franco a proper burial (33)

On Monday, October 24, 2022 at 2:12pm Joseph ‘Joey’ Franco took his last breath. He was one of the most stand-up men you could meet a real one; he was the same one from day one. He was a funny, one-of-a-kind, loving, and damn proud GirlDad. He was a family man, he put his family first. Anyone who ever had the pleasure of spending time with Joey, has a memory of him normally one that includes laughter and brings a smile. Through all the adversities he faced, he never let anything hold him back. He put his best foot forward and took the pain and tried to into something beautiful – his family. The last year of his life was a true struggle, he was sick and had a hard time finding a way to fight – but in true Joey fashion, he fought hard until the very end. Words cannot describe the sadness we all feel, the unbearable pain in the eyes of his mother, wife, daughters and family. His wife, Ashley, would like to give him the send off he deserves with dignity and provide an open casket - allowing his beautiful 2 young girls (16 & 6) to see their Dad in the most respectful, proper and peaceful way. Joey was 33 years young - there was no time to save or plan a funeral.

If you know Ashley she does not ask for help ever, I have known her for almost 20 years and even to assist her in creating this GoFundMe she started it off with “I have the biggest favor” as if she even needed to ask – they are proud and always worked hard to get the things they needed. Right now, this grieving family needs our help; anything you can give would be greatly appreciated to provide a proper burial this young man deserves.
