Ah, this should have been Joey’s story to tell.
The tale of a gentle soul and a kind heart. Of an observer of the human condition and a chronicler of foibles and triumphs. Of a deeply spiritual man and a deeply weird fascination with the rock band Kiss. Of a father and a friend.
This is a story Joey Knight would have loved to have written.
Instead, he lived it.
Right up until Friday morning.
The longtime sports writer at the Tampa Tribune and Tampa Bay Times passed away at 57 after a two-year tango with cancer. He leaves behind two daughters, a son and an encyclopedic knowledge of all things sports-related in, and around, Tampa Bay.
