Philippians
3:14 - I press onward toward the goal to win the Prize for which God has called
me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Joe
Barina, Jr., 69, of Beaumont, Texas, died Wednesday, November 9, 2016, at
Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas. He was born on June 11, 1947, to Mildred Louise
Huntsucker Barina and Oscar Joe Barina, Sr. in Goldsmith, Texas.
Joe
graduated from Abilene Christian University with a degree in Bible. He also
obtained his degree from Sunset School of Preaching. At age 19, his lifelong
passion of preaching began, and Joe never overlooked an opportunity to preach
or teach. He retired from BASF.
He
lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures. Joe lived out what he
believed--“that people are priority”. He devoted his energy to loving and
serving others. Joe’s positive spirit and love lives on in the lives of those
he influenced. Joe’s earthly jewels were his family and his ministry to God’s
church. It is with great peace and honor that Joe left his world to be with his
maker--his one true goal.
