Edward Joseph "Joe" Dunlap, Jr. died peacefully at home Wednesday, September 28 
with his loving wife Kathy and his beloved companion of 12 years, "Muffy" by 
his side. He fought the good fight and never gave up his faith in Jesus through 
multiple illnesses.

He was preceded in death by his mother Lois Elizabeth (Betty) Dunlap and his 
father Edward Joseph Dunlap, Sr. He is survived by his brother Charles R. 
Dunlap of Sanford, FL. He was born in Montgomery, AL January 22, 1943.

As a nine-year old he was chosen the "Red Feather Kid" and played Hank Williams 
songs on the ukulele in front of huge audiences. He was a multi-sport athlete 
through his school years and graduated from Sidney Lanier High School and the 
University of Alabama. He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. He 
married Kathy Hurrelbrink on July 17, 1976 in Atlanta, GA and formed his own 
company selling hotel furnishings to luxury hotels. After many years he finally 
had a beautiful daughter, Lacey Elizabeth, his princess and love of his life, 
who is married to John "Blake" Amos of Gadsden, AL. He also has a daughter by 
his previous wife, Deborah Boyle (David). The family moved to Mandeville in 
1984. Joe loved his sports and had a passion for Alabama and Saints football. 
He lived long enough to see Alabama win a national championship, the Saints win 
the Super Bowl, and most importantly the birth of his granddaughter, Elizabeth 
Lain on June 7, 2011. He felt his life was complete. 

The family wishes to thank his long-time physician and friend, Dr. William 
Barfield for his kind and compassionate care as well as the staff of St. 
Tammany Parish Hospital, Home Health, and Hospice. 

Per his request, he is being cremated with no formal funeral service or wake.

E.J. Fielding is handling the arrangements. 

A celebration of his life will be held in the family home on Friday, October 14 
from 4-7 pm.
