On December 18, 2020, Joseph Michael Ozburn of Delray Beach, Florida passed away at home at the age of 68. Joey was born to Ross and Mary Ozburn in 1952 on Long Island, New York and spent his early life in Murphysboro, Illinois and later in Kansas City, Kansas. He received his BA degree from Southern Illinois University in 1978. In October 1998 he married Patricia Pernell in Kansas City and they were longtime residents of Delray Beach, Florida. Joey worked for Ocean Properties for many years being recognized as Marriott Employee of the Year and also as Corporate Flight Attendant.

Joey adored his wife Patty, and they enjoyed their travels together. His love of history and The History Channel made him the "tour guide" on cruises to the Greek Isles, Barcelona, France, Monaco, Florence and Croatia to mention a few. They loved trips to Las Vegas with friends Kay & Ray Reza and Joey's lifelong friend Craig Kennedy. One of Joey's favorite outings was bringing a boat from the west coast of Florida to the east coast on the Cross Florida Barge Canal through Lake Okeechobee with Patty's brother Michael. Joey & Patty enjoyed big nights out with their friend Jack Jackson at his iconic restaurants Burt & Jacks and Jackson's Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale. Joey was a "foodie" and loved to cook but not cleaning up! He loved the Rolling Stones, his Kansas City Chiefs football team as well as LSU where his Dad played football. Joey was by nature a quiet person…a lover of animals especially dogs and horses. Joey and Patty were always by each other's side, he was close with all of his family and he was loved by all who knew him…
