Joey Gallant left us unexpectedly on Saturday August 16, 2008, just one day before his 27th birthday, while preparing for his birthday celebration. Joey collapsed in his home in Roxbury, Maine and never regained life.
His parents Tim & Cathy, older brother Brad, sister-in-law Mary (Brad and Mary’s three children Chris Field, Jaclyn Torres, and Cameron Gallant), a younger sister Angela, Grammy Rose (Bither) and his best friend Steven survive him, as well as many relatives and friends that loved him.
Joey will always be remembered for the happiness he brought others. Although he suffered with Crohn’s disease and having metal plates in his back from sports injuries, he lived his life to the fullest. He was always reaching out to get the most out of everything he did.
Joey completed police academy training, was a volunteer firefighter in the towns of Roxbury and Andover, and helped with the Mexico Explorers program.
Joey loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and camping; he especially loved Roxbury Pond and Black Mountain areas.
His family and friends will always remember him as an outgoing person who would do anything for others and normally go out of his way to help someone. Joey wrote in his diary last March, "I feel like I'm a very old person, because I have already done and seen so much in my life and am grateful for all the experience I have already seen and done". Joey will be greatly missed by his family and friends, and they ask that in memory of him, donations be made in his name to the Mexico Explorers program so that this organization can continue to teach our children what Joey believed in.
If so desired donations in his memory may be made to the Mexico Explorers 134 Main Street Mexico, ME 04257
