Joseph Oscar Turner, Jr., known to family and friends as Joey, passed away on December 31, 2025, at the age of 46. He was born on January 18, 1979, in Troy, Alabama.

Joey was preceded in death by his parents, Beverly Turner and Joseph Oscar Turner, Sr. The values they instilled in him—hard work, kindness, and dependability—remained evident throughout his life. Joey was also preceded in death by his sister, Kimberly Turner Hawkins and his aunt, Peggy Haddan.

He is survived by his wife of 12 years, Sabrina Turner; his stepdaughters, Sarah and Mary McBride; his aunt Glenda Varga (Steve); his uncles, Roger Haddan (Nancy), James Turner and Robert Haddan; along with several cousins, extended family members, and many friends.

For over 20 years, Joey worked as a truck driver with Wiley Sanders Trucking. He took pride in his work and was known as a reliable and dedicated employee who valued responsibility and commitment.

Outside of work, Joey enjoyed nature, animals, and traveling. He appreciated the open road and the quiet moments found outdoors. He was always willing to help others and was known for his steady presence and generous spirit.

Joey will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his loyalty to those he loved, and his willingness to lend a hand whenever needed. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
