Joseph Rowan Moak, Sr.
"Joe" Moak went to be with the Lord on Friday, June 28, 2013 at 57 years of age. He died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in Jefferson, TX. Joe was generous in nature and a kind and trusted man. He always put God and his family first.

Joe worked as a truck driver for thirty years and spent the last five years working for Marion County. He was an accomplished bass fisherman, hunter, musician, motorcycle aficionado and an active member of the Immanuel Baptist Church for the last twenty years. Joe was also known to many as the "Singing Preacher" as he would frequently bless those around him with his beautiful and passionate singing voice. He even recorded a gospel CD in 2002. Joe never met a stranger and was always surrounded by friends and family who loved him dearly. He will be missed, but will forever be loved in the hearts of many people whose lives he helped make better.
