Memorial service will be held at the funeral home on Monday, September 9, 2019 at 10:00am.Joey was born on November 8, 1983, in Casper, Wyoming to Patrick Hollcroft and Anna Livingston, but he got to Texas as fast as he could. He attended Lee High School and graduated from the Fire Academy at Midland College. Because his family was growing, he joined a plumbing company and it became his life’s work, except for the five years he worked as a water well man. He felt the more licenses he had the better. He went back to plumbing after that, until his death. At 34, he decided to try out for the fire department here in Midland. For as old and out of shape as he thought he was, he almost made it. He was pretty proud of that.Joey is survived by his parents Patrick (Elizabeth) Hollcroft of Katy, Tx and Anna (J.R.)
