Rory Feek Has Broken His Silence With This Heartbreaking NewsThe Feek Family Needs Our Prayers Joey Martin Feek passed away today at the age of 40. She had a two-year courageous battle with cancer and has finally succumbed to the illness. Her battle with cancer has been extremely well documented by her loving husband, Rory Feek. The family is currently mourning the loss of this amazing woman. It has been a day that we knew would come, but prayed would never happen. Joey Feek was a beautiful soul and it tears me apart that she has passed away. Joey Feek received her first record deal in 2001 and during that deal she met the love of her life. Joey and Rory got married 4 months after meeting each other. Joey did not pursue her solo career; instead she decided to work with her husband. The couple were cast on a duet singing show and placed third. After their appearance on the show the couples success skyrocketed. They then knew they could support another child and so they had baby Indiana. Baby Indiana was born two years ago with downs syndrome. Shortly after the birth Joey was diagnosed with cervical cancer. The cancer went into remission but returned in 2015. Joey was then told that the cancer had spread to her colon and had become terminal. She was then placed in hospice care and passed away there. Joey lived an amazing life and influenced us all. Her immense faith showed us what true strength is. She remained strong for her family with one goal in mind. Her dream was to see her daughter turn 2 years old. Joey fulfilled her dream. Then two weeks later her body began shutting down. This morning Joey passed away peacefully in her sleep. May she forever rest in peace. Will you send your prayers to the Feek family?
