It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Joseph Andrew Espinoza, known affectionately as Joey, who entered into eternal peace on May 26, 2025, at the age of 44. Born on October 15, 1980, in Downey, California, Joey was a beacon of light to all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Joey is survived by his loving wife, Ahlam Holly Espinoza, and their cherished children: Subrina, William Bubba, Joseph Conrad Espinoza, and Denise Padilla. He was also a proud grandfather to his grandchildren Laylah, Zeke, Elena, Ayden, Mathew, and Liam, who brought him immeasurable joy.
He was the beloved son of Javier Espinoza and Diana Johnson and is survived by his brothers, Javier Espinoza Jr. and Enrique Avila. Joey’s kindness and gentle spirit endeared him to many, and he will be remembered affectionately by all whose lives he touched. As the family navigates this profound loss, they carry with them cherished memories and a love that will forever endure. Joey will be missed dearly, but his legacy of love and compassion will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Until they meet again, he will never be forgotten. We love you forever, Joey.
