Dave Boyer was
Master of Ceremonies at the famous 500 Club in Atlantic City,
New Jersey back in the late 50s and early 60s.
Success began for him at the early age of
18 when his manager suggested he change his name to Joey
Stevens.
As MC, he was introducing and performing
with such well-known entertainers as Frank Sinatra, Dean
Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Jerry Lewis.
But with the success, Dave became addicted
to alcohol and other drugs. His life became self-centered with
fame and fortune.
In 1964, his wife June, left him, taking
their daughter with her. Less than a year later, Dave‘s
father, a minister in York, Pennsylvania, passed away.
At that point, his self-inflicted hurt
became too much. He left the 500 Club that night and drove
towards a little town in Pennsylvania where he hoped to kill
himself on the railroad tracks.
On the way, however, he passed a little
church that brought back happy memories of his childhood, his
father and family. Hurting and crying, he fell to his knees,
and then forced himself to a pay phone where he called his
brother who was now pastor of his father‘s church.
His brother drove out to meet him and in
the wee hours of the morning after a lot of praying, Joey
Stevens was laid to rest forever and Dave Boyer was reborn in
Christ.
And Dave’s wife June and their
daughter returned to him after a two year separation.
