Joseph "Joey" LeBrun of Derry passed away suddenly Saturday December 28, 2019, just 24 hours shy of his 50th birthday surrounded by loving family and close friends.

The son of Edward Lebrun and the late Arlene LeBrun (Root), Joey grew up and spent most of his life in Windham NH. Joey spent many years working in masonry, but his heart was in automotive repairs.  He repaired cars as a side job, while also maintaining many project cars and trucks (all Fords) until moving to Derry and taking on automotive work as a full time job.  In addition to his new full time job, Joey embarked on a new hobby with his wife Gina (Cocozza) LeBrun; raising a family.

He loved to spend time with his family and friends.  His yard was a place of smiles and laughter, whether it be family cookouts, football games, or the boom of fireworks.  It was not uncommon to see his boys, Colby (10) and Camdyn (5) whipping around on their ATV's or to see them fetching tools. He also loved animals, having numerous pets around the house.  He especially loved Boston Terriers.

Joey was kindhearted and generous.  He was quick to help friends or family with anything and everything.  From fixing cars, to plumbing, to deck building, there wasn't much that he couldn't do.  He was a wealth of knowledge and was eager to share that with others. An avid sports fan, Joey liked all of the local sports, except for the Patriots.  For reasons unbeknownst, he loved the Miami Dolphins since the Marino era.  Through ups and downs, it was always "gonna be their year".

He is survived by his wife, Gina (Cocozza) LeBrun, of Derry, sons; Colby and Camdyn LeBrun ,of Derry, his father Edward LeBrun of Hillsboro,  his brothers Paul LeBrun of Derry, Edward LeBrun of Franklin, Bob LeBrun of Derry, Leo Root of Manchester, and his sisters Darlene LeBrun of Kerrville TX, and Diane LeBrun of Candia.  He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.

Visiting hours will be held Thursday, January 2, 2020 from 4pm to 7pm in the Douglas and Johnson Funeral Home, 214 Main St., Salem NH. A funeral service will follow Thursday at 7:00pm in the funeral home.
