Born on August 1, 1941, in Moultrie, Georgia, to the late John Noah Joyner, Jr. and Norma Gaines Joyner. A compassionate caregiver at heart, Mr. Joyner devoted over 30 years of his life to serving others as a registered nurse. His career was a testament to his enduring kindness and commitment to the well-being of his community. After retiring, he enjoyed many of life’s simple pleasures, including reading, gardening, studying history, and working with his hands as a handyman. He also enjoyed farming and spending time mowing the grass. A love for travel took him around the world, including 14 different cruises, where he had the opportunity to experience new places and make lasting memories. Above all, he was a devoted member of his church and valued his faith.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Mark Steven Joyner; brother, Melvin Joyner; and sister, Janice Hobbs.

Mr. Joyner is survived by his wife, Barbara Ann Joyner of Berlin; son, Travis Joyner of Clermont, Florida; daughter, Teresa Williamson and Ryan of Clermont, Florida; sisters, Margaret Griner and Louise Moncrief; sisters-in-law, Martha June and Jerre Malone; numerous nieces and nephews and many friends and neighbors.
