WEST FORK — Joey C. Faubus,

60, of West Fork, Ark., passed away Monday, February 6, 2023, in Fayetteville. He was born February 20, 1962, in Colorado Springs, Colo., to Joe Theodore Faubus and Juanita Faye (Stanley) Faubus.

Joey was a man that led a full life. A self-proclaimed legend and a man of great passion. Joey had a vibrant personality that was fun loving at times and intense at others whilst he fought the demons all men struggle with. He was built of steel like the metals he welded and was as tough as the leather on the baseballs he pitched as a young man. Later in life with the loss of mobility many challenges arose, but he never failed to amaze us with his drive to keep on and do for others. The truth be told only a badass can rock a pair of electric wheels for nineteen years. He will be missed.

He is survived by his son, Justin Faubus of West Fork, Ark.; daughter, Kasey Estes of Fayetteville, Ark.; two sisters, Joy Fenley and Janet Funk of Prairie Grove, Ark.; a beloved niece Jaycie Fenley; and four grandchildren that he lived each day for: Lula, Anzel, Brielle, and Jordan.

A remembrance service will be held February 17 at 2 p.m. at the Unity Church: 4880 W. Weddington Drive, Fayetteville, Ar., 72704.

On February 20, Joey’s 61st birthday, we will meet at 6 p.m. at the Cherokee Casino in West Siloam Springs to celebrate in remembrance of Joey.

In lieu of flowers or memorial contributions we ask you to check in on someone who doesn’t get out much.
