Joey Rondale Stockton

Joey Rondale Stockton, 45, of Glasgow, Kentucky passed away Wednesday, July 17, 2024 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He was born December 7, 1978 in Glasgow, Kentucky to the late Leonard “Bubba” Brents and Dorietta Stivers, who survives. Joey was a supervisor at 3A Composites. He loved his Tar Heels, Titans, golfing, and being with his friends.

Joey never knew a stranger. He made friends with everyone he encountered and always made them feel loved and welcomed. To know him, was to love him and he had a HUGE impact on the community of Glasgow. Because of his heart and love, the entire community is crushed by his early departure. There will never be another Joey Stockton and everyone will remember him for his laughter, love, friendship, jokes, and joy. As someone once said, “Joey epitomized the expression, ‘salt of the Earth,’ and that is something you can’t say very often.”

“’Tis a fearful thing to love what death can touch. A fearful thing to love, to hope, to dream, to be – to be, And oh, to lose. A thing for fools, this, And a holy thing, a holy thing to love. For your life has lived in me, your laugh once lifted me, your word was gift to me. To remember this brings painful joy. ‘Tis a human thing, love, a holy thing, to love what death has touched.” – Yehuda Halevi

Survivors include his loving wife, who he married May 26, 2007, Amy Flowers Stockton; one daughter, Skylar Stockton (Dylan); six siblings, Erica Stockton, Eric Stockton, Jamie Stockton, Demetria Brents, Raisha Brents, Davey Bradley; a special aunt, Barbara Garnett; and several other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and his community of friends.

In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by a brother, Kelton Stockton, one sister-in-law, Stacy Flowers, and his grandparents.
