Joseph John Ball
November 30, 1978 – July 23, 2024
With heavy hearts, our family announces the passing of Joseph John Ball on July 23, 2024. Joey was born on November 30, 1978, in Seattle, WA. He grew up in Ferndale, WA and later settled in the Blaine and Birch Bay area where he found a connection to the beach.
Joey was a son, father, brother (whether blood or not), uncle, friend, athlete, leader. He was hilarious, a trouble-maker, coach, when he drove a car he turned into a “gangsta” (leaning so far over - he was barely noticeable), wrestler and football player. He had his struggles but was always willing to take on yours as well if you needed him, he was honest and real, and lastly, he was a very proud Italian!
Joey is survived by his mother, Jolene Maddon and stepdad Randy Maddon; his father, John Ball and partner Robert Shirak; sisters Jennifer Branscom and Jerilyn Hills; children, Anthony Ball, Maya Ball and Alia Ball; nieces Bailey Walters, Jaidon Branscom, and Prestyn Parkes; and nephews Tanner Haggith, David Parkes, and Noah Reinsberg.
A Celebration of Life will be held on August 24, 2024 at 1 p.m. at the Blaine Boating Center.
