Edward Joines Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Preceding him in death were his son Lynn Joines, his parents, Walker and Edna Joines, his brother Gene Joines and his sister-in-law, Margaret Joines.
Ed graduated from Sweetwater High School in 1963 and immediately enlisted in the United States Air Force. He proudly served his country for just over 20 years. In 1985, after retiring from the Air Force, he moved back home to Sweetwater with his family to work on the family dairy farm. When the farm was sold in the mid 90s he went to work for Carlex. He worked there for over 20 years and finally retired. He went on to live a quiet and fulfilling life.
He loved driving fast, meeting his close friends and relatives for dinner, tinkering with anything he could take apart and put back together. He loved getting dressed up and going to church, going to car races, attempting funny jokes, and listening to country and gospel music. He loved his family with everything he had. He was always there for anyone who needed him. He was the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off of his back.
Ed will be missed by many. We were all blessed to know and be a part of his life on earth. We know that he is in heaven with our Father and we cherish the thought of seeing him one day soon.
Celebration of life will be officiated by Pastors Brian Joines and Joe Guyer and will be held at 2pm on Sunday, August 7th, 2022 at Kyker Funeral Homes in Sweetwater, Tennessee.
Family will receive friends from 1-2 pm.
We hope all who knew and loved him will join us. Kyker Funeral Homes, Sweetwater, in charge of arrangements. www.kykerfuneralhhomes.com
