Joseph Herman Tunnell Jr.

July 21, 1939 - March 13, 2021

Joseph Herman Tunnell Jr., Age 81, of Vestavia Hills, AL was called to his eternal home on Saturday, March 13th, 2021. Joe was born on June 21st, 1939 to Lavay and Joseph “Herman” Tunnell Sr. Joe has been married to the love of his life, Bonne Faye (Adams) Tunnell for 55 years. Together they have two sons, Joseph Herman Tunnell III (Sheryl), James David Tunnell (Jerrie), and a daughter, Janet Adams. They have 3 grandchildren: Katelyn Tunnell, Brandon Tunnell and Lauren Tunnell. He worked at Buffalo Rock in Homewood, AL for 38 years before retiring and concentrating on his own business, SignCraft Electric Signs. He was a Past Master of the Masonic Lodge. He was a member of Rocky Ridge Baptist Church for as long as anyone can remember. Joe loved to tell stories from years past and was not a man of few words. He loved his family deeply and spent most of his life making sure they were provided for. When he wasn’t working and providing, Joe loved to make trips to Gulf Shores for R&R. Joe will also be remembered for his love of football and his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide. Joe was awesome. His laughter, his smile, and his never quit stubborn spirit can never be duplicated and will be dearly missed. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at Cedar Hill Cemetery, 2pm. Pastor Lowell Vann will officiate services.
