Joey Morast, 61, of Niagara Falls, NY passed away peacefully on September 14, 2023 in Niagara Hospice House. Born in Mobile, AL, he was the son of Annie (James) Morast and the late Foster Morast; and step-son of the late John Bennett.
Joey was raised in Brooklyn, NY, and later moved to Western New York. In 1981, he obtained his Auto Mechanic Certificate and also received his CDL in 1986.

Joey was a member of the Potter’s House Christian Community Church, where he was a member of the Men of Praise, the Prayer Team and served as a security guard.
Joey was an avid fisherman and an excellent cook. He also was a talented handyman, landscaper and automotive tech. He had a love for music and enjoyed singing, as well as playing the keyboard. Above all, Joey cherished the time spent with his family, especially his children, who will miss him greatly.
