He was a graduate of Valdosta High School and Southern College of Pharmacy, now known as Mercer School of Pharmacy, in Atlanta. Mr. Joiner proudly served his country in the U.S. Army and was a true patriot. Next to his love for his family, his passion was being a caregiver to others as was exemplified in his strong work ethic.

He was a member of Northside Baptist Church where he actively participated in and thoroughly enjoyed traveling with the seniors’ ministry. He was an avid fan of the Valdosta Wildcats, Georgia Bulldogs and the Atlanta Braves. Mr. Joiner was a loving husband, wonderful father, adoring grandfather and had a genuine love for life and people. He never met a stranger, had a perpetual smile and endearing personality.
