Jose M. “Joey” Huerta
Jose M. “Joey” Huerta, age 50, of Chicago, IL. Beloved husband of Liz for 20 years; loving father of Ariel and Joseph; cherished son of Mary and the late Jose Ma. Huerta; dear brother of Rose Mary (John) Nocita, Benjamin (Veronica) Huerta, Paul (Maribel) Huerta, and Melissa Huerta; devoted uncle of Paul-Michael, Angelina, Emily, Nathan, Avery, John, Mia, Mina, and Alyssa; dear great-uncle of Mileanna.
Joey graduated from St. Joseph High School in 1989 and received an associates degree from Robert Morris College.
Joey joined the Chicago Police force in 2000 and was an active police officer for 21 years.
Along with his great love for his family, Joey loved playing baseball and loved coaching his daughter Ariel on her softball team. Joey also passed on his sense of humor and energy to his son Joseph.
Joey was a great athlete throughout his entire life. Sports and games just came naturally to him. Once he knew how to play a game, he would eventually become better than everyone else playing.
Joey was a source of guidance, support and love for his nephews and nieces. They could always count on him to make them laugh.
