Joseph Haynes
Brabham
Joseph Haynes Brabham, 85, of Jay passed away on May 13, 2013 with his family by his side. A native of Enterprise, AL, Haynes' 35 year career as an educator brought him to Jay, FL, where he retired to spend time with those he loved. Well known for finding humor anywhere he looked, he never met a stranger and always loved a good joke. A gifted athlete, he enjoyed a lifelong love of tennis, especially when he was winning.
Haynes was preceded in death by his three brothers, John, Clifton, and Leontz Brabham; two sisters, Inez Enter and Margaret Moseley; his son, Stanley Robert Brabham; and his parents, Robert and Kate Brabham.
Haynes leaves behind his wife, Emily, of 56 years; two sons, Mark (Sonja) Brabham, and Matt (Lori) Brabham; and daughter, Lynne (Chris) McDonald; seven grandchildren: Robert, Shelton, Steven, Tyler, Garrett, Logan and Katie; and three sisters, Lavonne Brown, Jane Waters, and Kathryn Anderson; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be Friday, May 17, 2013 at Jay Funeral Home from 4 -6 p.m. The Funeral Services will begin at 6 pm with the Rev. Earl Greene officiating. Graveside services will be Saturday, May 18, 2013 at Holly Hill Cemetery in Port St. Joe, FL at 3 pm EST.

Haynes was a person whom I have known all of my life. He was a good, funny person. He is now resting in the arms of angels. He will be missed.

As a life long family friend, the Scott family have enjoyed Haynes and the Brabham's companionship for many years.
Our visits often started with some sort of sporting event or outdoor adventure, but always ended with a joke or two or three that none of us could ever remember or tell as well as it was received.
As my father's college roommate, Haynes taught dad how to play and teach tennis, an odd sport for the day given his many althletic gifts. But one that has been passed onto countless others thanks to Haynes original lessons and patience.
He was a true teacher in every respect.
To the family, our deepest condolences for the loss of this great huaman being. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
1 Corinthians 15:10 says...
"But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."
