Thomas Joiner, Jr. Obituary (1965 - 2023)

Thomas Joiner Jr., the man who lived his life as if he had a stand-up comedy gig every night, left the stage for the last time on December 21, 2023. Originating from Albany, Georgia, Thomas was born on July 19, 1965, and leapt into the world with a charisma that was not only infectious but also highly contagious. The man was as witty as a late-night talk show host and just as funny. He had a way of making everyone around him break into laughter, even if they were having the worst day. Thomas was not just a master of humor, but also a maestro of pool and a Picasso of painting. Yes, he could shoot pool with the best of them and paint like he was born with a brush in his hand. But that was Thomas, wasn't it? He was a man who wore many hats and wore them all with style, sass, and a signature grin. To quote Mark Twain, "The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter." And Thomas, oh boy, he knew how to wield that weapon like a pro. But if you asked Thomas what mattered most to him, he'd set down his pool cue, put aside his paintbrush, and with a serious look on his face (a rare sight indeed), he'd say, "My family and friends." Thomas loved them more than anything and enjoyed nothing more than sharing a drink and a few laughs with his buddies. He was a loving soul, a friend to all, and the life of every party. So, let's raise a glass to the funny, loving, and charismatic Thomas Joiner Jr. - a man who knew how to make life colorful, one joke at a time. But hey, don't just take our word for it. Visit Thomas's memorial page to leave your favorite memories of him and to upload photos that captured his irrepressible spirit. Because, as Thomas would have said, "It's like this, and you flip it over it's like that."
