Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOSEPH VICTOR WILLIAM MCLEOD It is with deep sadness that we announce the tragic death of Joey on May 23, 2009 at the age of 23 years. Joey was born in Winnipeg on January 11, 1986. He is lovingly remembered by his father Victor. Also left to cherish his memory are his maternal grandparents Blanche and William, many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends in Canada and the USA. Joey was the age of eleven months when he was predeceased by his mother Lillian in 1986, also predeceased by his paternal grandparents George and Sarah. Joey grew up in Charleswood and attended school at Chapman, Charleswood Junior High and Shaftsbury. He was in the process of completing his grade 12 credits. Joey was a quiet loving caring individual. He loved animals and spending time at the lake with family. As a little boy he was carefree, fun loving with a mischievous nature and a beautiful smile. He liked to spend his free time playing video games. Visitation took place on May 31 at Thomson In the Park Funeral Home. A private funeral service was held at St. Mary Anglican Church on June 1, 2009 with Reverend Gordon Dixon officiating. Interment followed at Chapel Lawn where he was laid to rest beside his mother. Following the interment a reception and time of fellowship was held at St. Mary's Parish Hall. The family wishes to thank the Winnipeg Police Departments, Victim Services, St. Mary's Clergy and parishioners, the Medical Profession and the Funeral Directors, especially John and Bruce. Their support, compassion and caring are most appreciated during this difficult time. If desired, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. I'd like the memory of me To be a happy one, I'd like to leave an afterglow Of smiles when life is done, I'd like to leave an echo Whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times And bright and sunny days, I'd like the tears of those who grieve To dry before too long, And cherish those very special memories To which I belong. Rest in Peace, Joey. We love you. THOMSON IN THE PARK 925-1120 Send expressions of sympathy to www.mem.com

Sometimes I sit here and remember Joey from long ago we had some good times together. It’s too bad he was taken so young. I grew up in Charleswood and hung around with Joey quite a lot. It’s a shame our so called justice system has once again failed. Justice should be an eye for an eye. Joey was a gentle giant and didn’t deserve to have any of that happen to him. It’s been many years now but I will never forget him. I tend to go and visit his grave every so often and pay my respects. Gone but not forgotten RIP my friend. - Posted by: Shanky (Friend ) on: Aug 12, 2024

I ran into an old elementary friend tonight and asked if he still spoke to Joey and that's when he told me he thought he had passed. As soon as I arrived home tonight I googled his name and came across this and it saddens my heart to the core. Joey was one of my very first friends at Champan and we lived very close by. My brother and I would play for hours at Joey's house running around, I especially loved to play on the old piano in the basement. I also remember our trip out to Fisher Bay at the cabin with his grandpa in 1996, that was the summer we found a stray pup and I ran screaming from the beach because of horse flies. I have often thought about Joey and wondered how he and his dad were doing and wondered if I would ever run into him again. I tried finding him on Facebook but assumed he didn't have an account. I send my condolences to the family and may joey rest in peace with the mother he now has the opportunity to know. Lanna - Posted by: Lanna (Old Friend) on: Sep 20, 2014
