Joseph Marvin Haynes, Jr. s/o Elsie Mae Potter and Joseph Marvin Haynes, was born January 26, 1929 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California where his father, Marvin, was manager and part owner of a Pig Stand. In 1936 they moved to Tyler, Texas where they bought and reconditioned the Brown Derby restaurant. By 1937 the family had moved to Phoenix, Arizona where Marvin opened the Haynes's Drive Inn.

On December 23, 1942 the family was living in Memphis, Tennessee where his father was manager of the fifteen cafeterias of Chickasaw Ordinance Works and the Navy Aviation Reserve Base at Millington, Tennessee. His father had a heart attack and died at the Baptist Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. After his father's death, his mother moved back to Dallas where she bought a house in East Dallas. At that time they became members of the East Grand Avenue Baptist Church.

Joe graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas in June of 1947. He graduated from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1951 and was featured in that year's edition of "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities." Joe was drafted in 1953 and saw service in the 33rd AAA Battalion at Ft. Bliss as a personnel clerk in the U. S. Army.

Joe and Virginia Ann Keeter, a fellow student at Hardin Simmons University, were married on August 7, 1954 in Throckmorton, Texas. Virginia is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Keeter of Throckmorton. They are the parents of Katherine Denise and Karen Renee Haynes. After his discharge from the army Joe was graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Masters degree in Religious Education in 1957. He continued his education at Scarritt College, the State University of New York, and earned a Certificate in Business Management from American Management Association Extension Institute at Belmont University in 1986.

Joe has served as Education and Music Director at the First Baptist Church in Tipton, Oklahoma from 1951-1953 and at the First Baptist Church in Springtown, Texas from 1955-1957. He was the first Minister of Education in the Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi from 1957-1959. He was employed by the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board from 1959 to 1963. In 1963 he went to work for the Sunday School Division of the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. He retired from there in 1992 after serving at the publishing house for almost thirty years. He was the author of "Ministering to Young Adults" and "Outreach Ideas for Young Adults" and the contributing author for "Adult Sunday School Work" and "Reaching Adults Through the Sunday School." Before his retirement he compiled "Secrets of Sunday School Success for Ministers of Education" (1992). Joe has designed and written Sunday School growth and administration articles, materials, filmstrips and videos.

In a letter dated July 14, 1996 to cousin VirJean Potter Bozarth, Joe said his hobbies and personal interests were his two granddaughters and gardening, walking, and traveling. He collected antique walking canes made from cow horns. He enjoyed working as a Volunteer Tour Guide with the Baptist Sunday School Board.
