Joey Counts

[alexis_counts]

Hello everyone,

I am Joey’s sister, currently I am trying to retire his jersey number at his high school as he did a lot for the school (breaking records and returning as a coach after UM) and became a local fire fighter. As many of you know he passed away last November (2024). This is something I have been wanting to do for him as his name is still talked about even a decade later at the school. Please help make this happen by signing and sharing this petition. He treasured his time in Montana and loved the community, so please Montana I need your help!

Signed, please keep us updated. If needed, I'm sure theres some egrizers that new Joey and would do a character reference for you. Obviously he'll be remembered forever here for one of the most memorable TD's in Griz history.

Thank you for bringing this on, and my deepest sympathy for your loss, this is the first I have heard of it. I will always remember him running into the endzone against North Dakota State to win that game in 2015. I am happy to sign this petition in support of Joey and wish you and your family well.

Done…I went to school at the same time as Joey. Randomly ate with him at the food zoo once, I enjoyed our conversation. One of my favorite memories was him running that touchdown in for the in against NDSU and yelling “Griz BANG!”on camera a couple times….still use the phrase myself this day.

Thank you for reaching out! Condolences for your loss and my thoughts are with your family.
