Joseph W. “Joe” Juneau, Jr. (1950~2023) Southwest Mississippi College (SMCC) is mourning the loss of Joseph W. “Joe” Juneau, Jr. who passed away peacefully in his sleep on February 19, 2023. A resident of McComb, Mississippi, his last days were spent in Louisiana enjoying Cajun Mardi Gras with his wife. Born in Cottonport, Louisiana, Joe served in the Air Force Reserves early in his career. He was owner of Dixie Water Wells and Pumps in Poplarville, Mississippi. In 1983, he developed the Well Construction Technology program at SMCC. At the time, it was the only such program in the U.S. Joe retired in 2009 after 26 years of service at the college. He enjoyed time with family and friends, whether cooking, RV trips, working on projects, or telling tales. Many hours were spent duck hunting and fishing with friends. He was always eager for February and time for Louisiana State University baseball; October would find Joe at “Cruisin’ on the Coast” driving around in his 1955 Thunderbird. He certainly lived life to the fullest. Joe is survived by his wife Dorothy; sons Craig (Courtney) and Daryl (April); grandsons Ian, Grant, Dawson, and Eli; brothers Mike (Crystal) and Ronnie (Bonnie); and nephews Justin (Deonna), Jason (Lacy), and Christian.
