Joseph was born to the late Joe V. and Callie Mixon House in Water Valley. Joseph proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. After being honorably discharged from the Air Force he went on the work as a Journeyman in the brewing industry.

He helped his father buy their first one row Farmall tractor, because Joseph thought the mules his father was using was taking up too much time. He was also an avid car enthusiasts, was considered to be very thrifty, and an animal lover. During the late nights, Joseph could be found watching westerns. He also enjoyed conversation, often talking hours with his family and friends. Being raised in a Christian home, he always treated people right and never looked down upon anyone. His character will be missed by all those that loved and cherished him.
