Joe was born July 16, 1944 in Cabarrus County to the late Burrell Hunter Redman and Elsie Rice Redman. He was also preceded in death by sister Burleen Sides, and brothers Ira and Bob Redman. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and brother. He loved to spend time in his garden and he was a master at it. He loved an occasional trip to Maggie Valley to spend the day with his wife Mary. He attended Hartsell High School and went on to work at Cannon Mills. He later started his own business, Redman’s Painting Service. He worked diligently for twenty eight years before retiring and turning the business over to his son. He will be greatly missed by everyone, but we know he is in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, completely healed and whole.

Joe leaves behind his wife of 62 years Mary Rayfield Redman; son Jeffery Redman and wife Melissa as well as son Joseph David Redman, Jr and wife Tara; three sisters Shirley Dagenhart, Annette Cook and Dean Redman, and brother Howell Redman. Joe had five granddaughters Mallory, Angela, Tiffany and Sarah Redman, and Madison Smith as well as grandson Clay Walker, and great grandson Walker Smith; and a number of extended family members.
