Joseph Hendricks Obituary

Published by Legacy on Mar. 18, 2026.
Joseph Whitney Hendricks passed away on March 13, 2026, in Monroe, LA; Born on November 5, 1968, in West Monroe, Joseph's journey through life was marked by his unwavering kindness and the joy he brought to all who knew him.

He graduated as valedictorian of Monroe Christian School's class of 1980, a testament to his dedication and hard work. Beyond the classroom, his spirited nature found joy in the great outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, embracing the serene beauty of nature. His love for sports was evident, and he often joked that his loyalty to the Dallas Cowboys was as steadfast as his love for music. Singing was not just a hobby for Joseph; it was a passion, and he loved it.

He is preceded in death by his father, Bobby Gene Hendricks Sr.; mother, Judy Ann Landry; brothers, Bobby Gene Hendricks III, and Terry Dale Hendricks.

Those left to cherish his memories include his daughter, Savannah Leigh Chambless and spouse Theron Thomas, and son, Joseph W. Hendricks; brothers. As well as nine grandchildren, and a host of extended family and friends that love and will miss him dearly.
