Joe Allen Honea

Joe Allen Honea, age 84, of Frost, Texas, passed away on November 28, 2025. He was born on January 16, 1941, in Corsicana, Texas, to Earl and Ora Honea.

Joe is survived by his devoted wife of 62 years, Bettye; his son Brad Honea and wife Nancy; his daughter Julie Acrea and husband Mike; grandchildren Anna Zink and husband Rex, Lacy Vosburgh, Kassie Johnson, and Beau Johnson; and great-grandchildren Rex Zink III, Carmen Zink, Hannah Vosburgh, Ashton Vosburgh, Kody Vosburgh, Jason Johnson, Rylan Graham, and Mason Graham.

Joe had an undeniable gift for music. A natural performer, he played in country, western, and gospel bands throughout his life. He could pick up virtually any instrument and make it sing, though his guitar was his greatest love. Weekends often found him on stage, sharing his talent and joy at venues far and wide. Music wasn't just a hobby for Joe-it was a calling that he shared generously with all who listened.

Above all, Joe loved his family deeply. He treasured time spent with Bettye, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and his presence will be forever missed.

Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Griffin-Roughton Funeral Home. Services will be held at a later date.
