FARMINGTON - The Rev. Joe D. Starr, 55, of Farmington was called home to be with his Lord on Saturday, May 17, 2008, in Fayetteville. He was born June 16, 1952, in Fayetteville to Earl Floyd Starr and Dorothy Lucille (Davis) Starr.
Rev. Starr is the founder and full-time pastor of New Hope Full Gospel Church in Farmington. He was a great man of God. He loved the Lord with everything he had. His main goal was to tell as many people about the Lord Jesus and to lead as many people that he could to the Lord Jesus, which is our Savior. Jesus and the reverend's family were the two most important things in his life. His main and all time favorite subject was Jesus. Rev. Starr could and would talk about Jesus all the day long. It didn't matter if at the store or wherever, he was going to tell you about Jesus, and the wonderful Savior He is.
Rev. Starr and his wife met in 1973 and married in 1975. They have one daughter and one granddaughter. His family meant everything to him. He was a loving husband, dad, papa bear (grandpa) and brother. He had a great sense of humor. He loved being around people laughing and having fun. If he couldn't get you to laughing, no one could. He had friends and made friends everywhere he went. The reverend has been a resident of Farmington for 20 years.
Before becoming a minister, Rev. Starr was one of the very best transmission rebuilders around. He worked with AAMCO for many years and Fayetteville Transmissions. Before that he painted signs for business owners all over Fayetteville and Springdale, and even around the Fayetteville square, some of which are still there. Before his illness, he spent a lot of time gardening. He raised a few cows for fun, and lots of other little critters. He loved the outdoors. He spent a lot of time in the deer woods. He loved to hunt, camp and fish, He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He loved greatly and he was greatly loved. He thanks God for this life, family he was given and for eternal life he is now living. Through all the good and bad, he always gave God honor, praise and glory. Rev. Joe D. Starr is not dead, he lives. He always said the Lord has been good to me, Hallelujah! (praise God). We know that we did not lose him. We know exactly where he is. He is with our heavenly Father and we will see him again soon.
He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Donna Starr of the home; a daughter, Melissa Hernandez of Springdale and a granddaughter, Cadence Jacoby of the home; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Clarence Starr and Kay of Fayetteville, Dale Starr of Farmington and Earl Starr and Shelia of Strickler and lots of nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl Floyd and Dorothy Lucille Starr and two sisters, Catherine Starr and Wanda Stewart.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 21 at New Hope Full Gospel Church in Farmington with the Rev. Wayne Reed and the Rev. Gene Davis officiating. Burial will follow in Mount Comfort Cemetery at Fayetteville.
Memorials may be made to New Hope Full Gospel Church in Farmington.
