Joel Dennis (JD) Edmonson

July 12, 2023

Joel Dennis (JD) Edmonson, 86, of Molino, FL, passed from this earth to his heavenly destination on Saturday, July 8, 2023. He was born in Escambia County, FL, on May 12, 1937, to Joiel and Eula Mae Edmonson.

He was a retired floor mechanic and a hard worker. He spent much of his early years laying floors at military bases in multiple states across the country and laid most of the tile at local hospitals and schools in the Pensacola area. He raised his boys to have the same work ethic and taught them everything he knew about the business. He had a passion for mullet fishing and could tell you where your mullet was caught with just a quick taste test. You wouldn’t know it by his quiet demeanor, but he was also a big prankster, just ask his sisters or old buddies on the job. He will always be remembered by that sideways grin and the twinkle in his eyes.

Preceded in death by his parents, Joiel and Eula Mae Edmonson; his brother, Eugene Edmonson; and his son, David Edmonson.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara Jo Edmonson of 58 ½ years; his children, Brian (Tammy) Edmonson, Denise (Russ) Eastin, Jerome Edmonson, and Priscilla (Neal) Lewis; 9 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; his brothers, Durwood, Kenny, James, Johnny Ray, John, Billy and Travis; and his sisters; Shirlon, Betty, Gwen, Sue, Mary, Myrtle, and Eula.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Pine Forest Assembly of God, 3125 N Pine Forest Road, Cantonment FL, 32533.

Faith Chapel Funeral Home North, 1000 S. Hwy. 29, Cantonment, FL 32533 is entrusted with arrangements.
