Joseph Daniel Seals Plumley-Signorelli
March 22, 2014
Joseph Daniel Seals Plumley-Signorelli, 20, was born December 13, 1993 in Montclair, California, to Kimberley Ann Plumley and Keith Lee Seals. He passed away unexpectedly on March 21, 2014 in Des Moines, Iowa.
Our Joey was a “California Boy” with a heart of gold. He attended school in Apple Valley and loved to play football for the Apple Valley Knights. He was MVP of his defensive line 3 consecutive years. He was unique and charismatic, playful yet absolutely fearless. He was a fighter. Joey fought for what he believed in and fought for people who were in trouble, wanting to help everyone. He was tough and sporadic; charming and caring. He had an amazing smile that everyone cherished. His one-of-a-kind personality lit up the room, making his presence known by all. He loved to play jokes on people – he was a “trick-er-upper” and an amazing story teller. Joey was so talented and loved to dance, rap, cook, barbeque, draw and paint, and was good at it all. His best quality above all was making people feel special. He wasn’t afraid to say I Love You and he always meant it. He was generous and loved animals, feeding birds, and gardening with his grandmother. Joey loved being Irish and was proud of his heritage. He cherished friendship and family – there was nothing he wouldn’t do for the people he loved. He was an amazing friend and person although he was small in stature. He was often called “Big Joe” because his presence filled any room he entered. Joey’s heart was too big for this world. His rambunctious personality and beautiful smile will never be forgotten. He will forever be loved, remembered, and missed. We love you Joe, you were the best friend anyone could have.
Joey is survived by his mother, Kimberley Ann Plumley; father, Keith Lee Seals; his siblings, Angelina Plumley-Signorelli (fiancé, Timothy Copeland), Ryleigh Seals and Rider Seals; grandma, Barbara Signorelli; grandpa, Frederick J. (Soladad) Plumley; step-grandpa, Anthony Signorelli; uncles, Frederick (Joy) Plumley Jr., Anthony Signorelli, Damian (Trianna) Signorelli, Christian Signorelli, Dustin Seals, Jesse Seals, and Julian Signorelli; aunts, Maryanne (Mike) Stefonivich, Barbara (Rob) McConnell, Jackquline Signorelli-O’Keefe, Antonia Signorelli, Brandi Melcher, Gabriella Plumley, and Elizabeth Signorelli; nephews, Timbo Copeland and baby Cash Copeland; special friends, Dustin Copeland, Dustin Willis, Brandon Trongale, Taylor Hagerty, Dustin Burke, David Harley, JD Miles, Julian Angelo, Brandon Romero, and Lizette Correa; as well as numerous cousins and other loving friends.

We are all so sorry we were not able to be with all of you during this difficult time. We all love Joey so very much and we are so very sad for the loss of a wonderful son and brother. May you find some comfort in knowing he has been welcomed into God's arms and will be surrounded by family that went before him. He will be loved and remembered forever.

TO Kim and Angelina , please always know that I am so sorry and completely heartbroken to hear that Joey had such a short life. I wasn't around him very often after he grew into his teen years tho I have many memories of him as a Lil boy. And when you guys lived at Golden West I could always count on Joey to jump outside and greet me with a big hug and even bigger smile, when I would swing by to drop Lizzie and Julian off to visit. To me, he was always very sweet and kind, polite and loving. My kids and I will miss your baby boy...thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for sharing him with us. RIP sweetheart.

Dear Kim and Fred,
This is a time in life when you were asked the ultimate sacrifice of having to let go. Letting go of something that is most precious to you. As members of this life none is immune to this cruel circle of life. It is our hope and prayer that as this time passes the life Joey lived is encompassed in recollections of love and triumphs. There are no words to comfort only a tool to let you know you are not alone. That we are all emotionally tied to you and walk alongside you in this struggle. Kerry, the kids, and I can only offer you our prayers that God's peace that transcends all understanding abide in your hearts. May his heavenly angels surround all that attend his service. May unity be of consolation during this task. We are so deeply sorry for all that you have had to endure. We send you all our most deepest love and sympathy...Lorick Family
