Joey Moss, 1963-2020

Joey Moss was an inspiration to many and was an ambassador for people with diverse abilities. Joey passed away peacefully on October 26th at the age of 57 with his family by his side.

As a young child, Joey attended the Winnifred Stewart School and later moved into a home supported by Winnifred Stewart. Joey had many close friends throughout the organization, was an ambassador for the Empties to WINN program, and was a beloved member of the Winnifred Stewart family.

Joey was a remarkable person who taught us to love, laugh, and enjoy life always. While Joey is most recognized as the dressing room attendant for the Edmonton Oilers and the Edmonton Elks Football Team, and singing the national anthem; Joey is also remembered for his incredible dance moves and putting a smile on your face when you are feeling down.

Joey’s 35 years tenure with the Edmonton Oilers and the Edmonton Football Team shows his dedication and loyalty to the jobs that he loved. His strong work ethic and contributions were rewarded, as he was presented with an NHL All-Star Award, Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award, and was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame, just to name a few.

The Joey Moss Memorial Fund (JMMF) was created after Joey's passing on October 26, in response to Joey's family's request for donations in lieu of flowers, to be provided to Winnifred Stewart.    

In collaboration with the Moss Family, it was established that funds raised by the Joey Moss Memorial Fund would be used to continue Joey's legacy of advocating for employment and other meaningful opportunities for people with diverse abilities.  

Joey’s memory lives on within our community and his advocacy work continues to make a difference in the lives of other people with diverse abilities.
