Joey was born on June 2, 1986, in Dubuque, the son of Marty and Nancy (Comer) McNamer.

He graduated from Dubuque Senior High School in 2005 and earned his B.A. in Business from the University of Dubuque. After working various jobs in Chicago and Dubuque, he began work as a realtor with American Realty. Joey also worked closely with his dad and mom to build and sell several beautiful homes in which he took great pride.

Joey loved music. Whether it was catching a live show, playing the drums, or having an impromptu dance party in his living room, Joey always seemed to have music flowing through him. He also had a passion for exploring new places and often traveled to visit family and friends across the country and beyond.

Joey was full of kindness, charisma, generosity, and love. His exuberance for life and ever-present smile were contagious, and he always seemed to know when someone needed an ear to bend or a shoulder to lean on. Joey was a fiercely loyal friend, brother, and son who approached life with an open-heartedness rarely seen. He learned from his parents' example to be intensely loyal to his friends, compassionate to all, and to strive for success in all his endeavors.

Joey brought joy into the lives of all who knew him and he will be deeply missed. He will live on in the hearts of those he touched.

Joey is survived by his parents, Marty and Nancy McNamer, of Dubuque; his brothers, Will Goodmann, Tony Goodmann and Jason McNamer; paternal grandmother, Barbara (Stock) Hackbarth; aunts and uncles, Sandy (Phil) Perry, Angie McNamer, Terry (Connie) Hackbarth, Chris (Sue) Bobst, Jay (Christine) Bobst, Waylen (Jen) Hackbarth, Wendell Comer, Wayne (Deanne) Comer; and many wonderful cousins.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Glenn and Bonnie Comer; paternal grandfather, Donald Hackbarth; maternal uncle, Gary Comer; and aunt, Janis Comer.
