April 18th, 2019 - November 21st, 2019
Joey Nolan passed away along side his father, in his mother’s arms, in the most comfortable way possible due to complications resulting from his severe genetic epilepsy.
Although his 7 months on earth were short, they were filled with magic and daily lessons in compassion. He was here for a profound reason, one that made his mark on all of us. We are all the better for having known him.
Joey had his gorgeous trademark smile, the sweetest most pure soul, and the best kiss on the planet.
The few times we heard him giggle, made every stress and struggle worth it.
Joey loved his big brother and protective big sister, and was most interactive when surrounded by their unconditional love.
Joey loved being outside, loved the breeze, and enjoyed relaxing on the beach with his family.
Joey touched the lives of so many, and brought many together, while spreading happiness and giving true perspective on our short lives here.
We are all blessed to have been in such a magical presence, and we know that our little kangaroo will never be forgotten.
Please feel free to wear a touch of purple in honor of epilepsy awareness. In lieu of flowers, donations to research for chop neurogenetics are appreciated https://give2.chop.edu/give/245938/#!/donation/checkout.
