Joe Hinton, a vibrant soul who lived life to the fullest, departed this world on Thursday, June 5, 2025. His outgoing personality, infectious spirit, and unwavering willingness to help others will be profoundly missed by all who had the joy of knowing him.

Born on July 18, 1953, in Nashville, Tennessee, Joe was one of three children born to Billy and Evelyn Hinton. Raised in Cottontown, Tennessee, alongside his brother Jimmy and sister Suzanne, Joe cherished life in the country and the charm of small-town living.

Joe was a dedicated husband to Christy Hinton for 45 years and a loving father to their son, Seth Hinton. He exemplified strong morals and family values, always prioritizing his "family first" mentality.

This deep love and care extended beyond his immediate family, enriching all his friendships. Joe was an avid motorcycle rider, enjoying countless trips and meeting new people along the way. His "never met a stranger" demeanor was widely known, and his constant readiness to lend a hand made his friendships incredibly meaningful.

The family will hold a graveside service on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at Crestview Memory Gardens in Gallatin, Tennessee at 11:00am. Honoring Joe's wishes, instead of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude’s Children's Research Hospital, an organization close to his heart.
