Joey "Joe" Begley

There are never any words for loss. There is never a way to heal correctly. You will be missed dearly Joe. The dad you didn’t have to be to us. Rest in peace Joe. Joe, Joey, Joseph, dad, daddy, papa, husband, honey, Johnx, and friend. There are so many names you acquired in your short years of being here on earth with us. Joe was loved by many but mainly by the love of his wife Missi. They raised 3 crazy girls together. Joe is the father of 3 children Jodi, Mandi, and Sunnie. In 1988 Joe became the father of Jodi. Jodi is and always will be “daddy’s little girl”. Joe raised his other two daughters Mandi and Sunnie their entire life as his own. His quote to them usually consisted of “I am not your stepdad I am your dad”. Joe had many nicknames for the ones who surrounded him. If you didn’t have a nickname, then Joe probably didn’t have anything for you. Joe had several grandchildren that he loved dearly. Kalib, Cole, Madisyn, Ema, Allie, Nora, Sabrina, and Drew. Joe enjoyed the boys fishing and girlfriend stories. He couldn’t wait until a family function to hear our events. Joe’s cousins Rick and Rita Richie from Hazard Kentucky visited often. They enjoyed many stories together. There wasn’t a day that passed when Joe didn’t mention Rick and Rita and all the memories they had. Chosen family consists of the people who show up for you, accept you unconditionally, and hold your hand when you need it most. These bonds are earned through mutual love and unwavering support rather than DNA, making your chosen tribe just as valid as biological family. We mentioned the ones very dear to Joe’s heart and showed up consistently through his battle. The owner and general contractor of Begley Construction LLC. A Harley man, a woodworker, a lover of bluegrass, guitars, and banjos, a hunter, a fisherman. He enjoyed collecting guns and case knives. Joe was a friend to many over the years but in his most recent years Joe was a best friend of Tim Jackson. Joe recently was able to attend to see Tim’s band with his family. You could see how proud he was to be able to attend just a few more times. From the words of Tim: It was so hard to see one of my best friends pass away, but in the same time saying that it was a honor being there for Joe. The old saying goes you have friends and you have friends. When Joe told you something it was as good as gold. This time of day it's hard to say that. Joe was a different person, but the first day we met we turned out being best friends for years. That is something I'm very proud of and never will forget. He was hard on outside, but inside he had a big heart.
