Joey Lazz Bear Chief

Joey Lazz “Baby Joey” Big Tobacco Jr. (Aapa’skoo’ma’pii - Weasel Boy)

With great sadness and a heavy heart, we announce the passing of our precious son, brother, cousin, nephew, and dear friend. Joey would’ve graduated in June 2024 from Strathmore High School, he was dedicated to the Lord in 2013 by Apostle Eugene Satterwhite, and he was a prairie chicken dancer. Baby Joey was very humorous, caring, high maintenance, he loved all his family, and had a big heart for everyone. During the summer he loved fishing, swimming at the river, going to stampede with his sisters, and visiting with friends. Baby Joey was very excited to get his own place in Calgary when he turned 18. He loved horror movies and had his favorites such as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and loved playing games on his PS5, specifically Dead by Daylight. He also loved his retro style music and had an avid record collection.
