Joseph Isaiah (Joey) MacLeod

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Joseph (Joey) Isiah MacLeod, of Big Bras D’Or (Born in Ajax, Ontario) October 6th, 2024 after a long battle with mental health.

Joey is survived by his daughter Kayce Rain; the Love of his life, Tasha; his parents Lloyd MacLeod (Mary MacDonald) and Kelly Lane; his sisters Meg (Anna) and Katie; grandmother Willena (Late Frank) MacLeod, grandmother Donna Lane and many aunts, uncles and cousins and his fur baby Viko.

Joey graduated High School from Memorial Composite High School in 2018 and achieved the top of his class in Electrical and later received his Red Seal in Burner mechanics. He loved playing music with his father, Lloyd, who was also his best friend, and Joey could teach himself any song he put his mind to. He played as much hockey as possible and was always a favorite defense teammate. He always tried to help others, even when he struggled himself.

When he wasn’t on the ice, he still loved to be on the water. He loved fishing and anything fast, including snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, and bikes. He was always looking for an adventure. Friends and family have no shortage of stories about Joey and his adventurous spirit.

Joey was a special soul who inspired so many people and deeply cared for his family. He had found love in his life with his girlfriend Tasha and recently fell in love with being a dad to his daughter Kayce Rain who was the joy of his life (Born June 11, 2024).

There is a long line of friends and family waiting to hug Joey in heaven, including his Grampie and Papa, and a reunion with his fur baby Lucy.

The visitation and service will be held in Sydney Mines on Friday October 11th. Visitation will be at the JM. Jobes funeral home from 11am – 1pm with service and reception to follow at Northside Baptist Church at 2pm.

Donations can be made in Joey’s memory towards local mental health societies.
