It is our deepest sorrow, Leon Desmond Dulyx (Joey/Breeze), 36, our beloved son,

father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend passed away in a car accident

unexpectedly on October 17, 2019 in Baltimore, Maryland. He will always have a

special place in each of our hearts. .

Joey was born on November 1, 1982 at Metropolitan Hospital in New York. He is

survived by his mother Genevieve (Jheny) and Step Father David, he was the second

eldest son. His siblings Sean, Zakiyah, Jason, Chanel, and Tiffany. He also leaves

behind his other mother/Aunt Joy (Tati), his only child Chloe Ariel Dulyx (11), her

sister Chrissy who loved him as her best friend, their mother Candice, grandmother

Faith and his dog Cassidy ..

Joey and Candice had a collaborative and caring relationship. It was based on

mutual support and a deep love for each other. His greatest achievement to date is

his daughter Chloe. The legacy of Joey's caring spirit, passion for cars, love of the

sport, and zest for life will live on through them.

Joey was raised with his siblings in Mount Vernon, New York. He attended Columbus

Elementary and later graduated from Mt. Vernon High School. While in Mt. Vernon he

obtained long lasting friendships. They reminisce about his ever-present smile, kind

heart, and gentle spirit who loved spending time with family and friends.

Most of all, they recall the sheer pleasure of his company, how good he made them

feel and how free they were to be themselves around him.

Joey cared about people in the purest way. He loved them for who they were and

because he wished the best for them, without guile or asking anything in return. He

had so much goodness, the capacity to bring happiness to others and such a bright

future. The world is a lesser place without his presence.

He spent many summers with his Aunt (Tati) in Baltimore. Their bond was

unbreakable and soon after high school he moved his permanent residence with her.

She cared more for him than a nephew, she raised him like her own son. Most

importantly, Tati showed Joey how to have a deep love and respect for his family.

That having good relationships with love ones IS key to living a joyful life. He

cherished the time they would spend together playing practical jokes, laughing

together, and enjoying family dinners together. Holidays were the best times

because it brought so much joy and great memories as a family. Joey always had a

smile on his face and jokes on his lips. We will cherish these moments for a lifetime.

Joey loved so many, was loved by so many more and had such an energy, that even

just one encounter with him would usually never be forgotten. If you knew him well

or barely at all, he always left you thinking. He was just that memorable. He was a rare

combination of someone who had a love of life ana a firm understanding of what was

important - the simplicity of living a life with those you love. Joey's indomitable spirit

encouraged his family and friends to persist in the face of many struggles.

During his life in Baltimore he obtained multiple jobs that always involved cars. He

had a passion to fix and drive cars from an early age. His love for cars drew him to be

a part of the Notorious Car Club. Joey loved the performance, style, handling,

horsepower, and speed. Joey definitely wrote his own rules and paved his own way.

Joey gave his life to Christ at Bethel AME Church in 2008. A child of the Most High.

Joey was a person of faith and lived life serving others in his own way. He taught us

that despite our circumstances; we can rise above

all adversity and pursue our dreams.

The angels came for you much sooner than

planned. The family will brave the bitter grief that

comes and we will try our best to understand. In

God we Trust. We will never lose hope in God's Will

for our lives.
