In 2005, Joe and his wife Sharon formed New Life Ministries and have been devoted to strengthening marriages and families ever since. Joe had a deep love for all people. He was a prayer warrior and a strong intercessor. Joe served many as a spiritual father and the impact he made on so many lives cannot be fully comprehended. He had a gentle spirit, was kind and caring, consistent and wise. Joe was a graduate of the University of Southern Louisiana. He was a member of Covenant Heirs International and Metropolitan Church of God. Joe was ordained by his mentor and friend, Pastor Steve Franklin of Covenant Heirs. In his pastime, Joe enjoyed hunting, fishing, and gardening. This special man will be missed by so many.
