So young to have this happen, didn't he beat cancer a few years back?

Prayers for his friends and family.

R.I.P. JOEY... he will be sorely missed as a writer and as a friend..

I'm shocked to hear this. I met Joey at the All A Classic in the early 1990s and we used to have lunch every year in Richmond and at the Sweet Sixteen. I remember I had to buy when Fulton County beat Harlan on a last-second shot in the 1993 semifinals since our regions were playing each other.
As a sports writing colleague for many years, Joey was one of the best people I ever met in the business. He was a great writer and friend.
