Joe French Obituary
Joe was a member of the First Church of Jesus Christ in Sand Springs, Kentucky where he served as guitarist and shared the Holy word on Saturday nights. Joe was a great friend to many in his community and held the role of director over the Broughtontown Community Center for many years.
Joe loved people, loved to joke around, always looked for ways to help those that needed it, and was a great neighbor. He helped so many people through the dedication of his time and good will, and was loved by all who were fortunate enough to know him and his infectious laugh.
In addition to his parents, Joe is preceded in death by two sisters, Joyce French and Gladys Bryant; two brothers, Russell and Johnie French; two brothers-in-law, Pete Bryant and Dennis Taylor; and a sister-in-law, Connie French.
Joe is survived by three brothers, Burgess French (Andrea), Paul French, Harold French (Freida); two sisters, Zelma Taylor and Lois French; one sister-in-law, Phyllis French; his chosen son, Dustin Brummett; thirteen nieces and nephews; and several great-nieces and nephews.
