Mr. Leon T. Joiner, aged 63, regrettably passed away on August 2, 2024, joining his heavenly abode. He was accompanied by his devoted wife, Tammie, and his esteemed in-laws, Morris Wright and Ann Wright, during his peaceful transition. Mr. Joiner was an active and dedicated member of Riverstone Church, where he found spiritual guidance and inspiration under the leadership of Pastors Rick Baldwin and Marshall Thompson.
Throughout his life, Mr. Joiner demonstrated unwavering commitment to his family and community. He served honorably in the United States Air Force for 14 years, contributing to the nation’s defense. Furthermore, he diligently pursued his education and successfully obtained an Associate of Arts degree from Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ).
Mr. Joiner’s passing is preceded by the loss of his first wife, Diane Camden-Joiner, and his father, William T. Joiner. He is also predeceased by his brothers, George, Ray, and Wayne. However, he leaves behind a loving family, including his wife of 19 years, Tammie Sprouse-Joiner, and their beloved canine companion, Stewie. Mr. Joiner cherished his in-laws, Morris Wright and Ann Wright, who embraced him as their own son.
Mr. Joiner’s legacy continues through his three children: Dale, Amanda, and Michael (Barbara). He was a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren: Brittany, Dale II, Aleana, Autumn, Diane, Michael Jr., Melvin, and Grayson. Additionally, he was blessed with two great-grandchildren. Mr. Joiner’s memory will be forever cherished by his mother, Barbara, and his three sisters. Among his siblings, he shared a particularly close bond with his sister, Crystal Strickland, and her husband, Tim.
His contributions to his community and his unwavering dedication to his family will be remembered and honored. May he find eternal peace and comfort in the presence of the Almighty.
Mr. Joiner had a large extended family, including numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles, with whom he shared a deep bond of affection. He cultivated a wide social circle through his lawn care services and participation in cruises. Mr. Joiner dedicated 17 years of service to the city of Jacksonville, finding great fulfillment in his role. Since 2007, he has been actively involved with the supervisor of elections, taking great pride in ensuring the smooth operation of election day processes. Through this engagement, he forged a close friendship with Mr. Robert Phillips. Mr. Joiner cherished his annual cruises with his partner, Ms. Tammie, achieving platinum status in recognition of their frequent travels. In his leisure time, he found solace and serenity in his neighborhood lawn care activities.
Mr. Joiner was a staunch supporter of President Trump, openly expressing his political views. Additionally, he held a strong affinity for the Seminoles.
Leon will be missed immensely and the family wants to thank everyone who comes to honor his legacy.

We are so sorry for your loss. Leon was a good neighbor and as good a listener as he was a talker. We will miss seeing him out front decorating the yard, feeding your pet ducks or just piddling in the garage every time we drive by. Praying for you in the days and months ahead. The world has lost a great man.
