Joey was born on May 25, 1956 in Beaumont. He graduated from Reicher Catholic High School in 1974, and was a member of the Corps of Cadets Class of 1978 at Texas A & M, where he also played football. Joey married the love of his life, Mary Rita Ginnane on Oct. 13, 1984.

He was a loving and dedicated husband, father, son, and eldest brother -- and was soon to be a first time grandfather. Joey was the role model for a perfect Christian family man and friend.

Joey worked as a TYMCO Engineering Manager for 37 years. A very hard worker, Joey could also fix almost anything.

His love for the Lord showed in his faithful attendance at St. Louis Catholic Church where he was a Lector and Eucharistic minister. Joey volunteered as team member for ACTS Mens Retreats and attended That Man Is You sessions weekly. Joey loved his Catholic faith and sharing his knowledge of it with his family and friends.

He enjoyed reading, fishing, travelling, carpentry, cooking, drawing and studying airplane history, but, most of all, he loved spending time with his family. He loved coaching and watching baseball, watching football, and was his kids’ number one fan, supporting them in all areas of their life. He was an avid reader and could answer almost any question asked of him.

Joey will be missed by all who knew and loved him – and are so terribly saddened by his unexpected death.

Joey is survived by his dearly loved wife, Mary Dvorsky; children, Joseph Dvorsky and wife Jana of Waco, Katelyn Dvorsky, and Justin Dvorsky; his parents, Joe and Dorothy Dvorsky of Waco; sister, Tricia and husband Joe Geiger of Waco; brother, Robert Dvorsky and his wife Peggy of Kingwood; his mother and father-in-law, Martin and Marilyn Ginnane of Waco; brother and sister-in-laws and many nieces and nephews, as well as many beloved friends.

Pallbearers will be his fellow ACTS Brothers.

Honorary pallbearers will be Kenneth Young and Gary Young and employees of TYMCO.
