Joseph Augustus Rainer, Sr.
Mr. Joseph Augustus Rainer, Sr., age 63, of McDonough, Ga., passed away on November 30, 2019. Joe was born on December 28, 1955, the youngest son of the late Jane Brewster Rainer and Robert A. Rainer, Jr. Joe grew up in McDonough attending Woodward Academy, Berry Academy, and graduating from Henry County High School. Joe worked for Eastern Airlines for 10 years. Joe was the original co-founder of Mojoe’s Hot Wings, which originated in Stockbridge. He was a member of Peoples Baptist Church. He loved his family dearly and enjoyed spending time with them. He also enjoyed spending time at the beach in St. Simons. Anyone who knew Joe knows he had a heart of gold. Joe was preceded in death by his older brother, Ray Rainer.
He is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Teresa Rainer of McDonough; daughter Jane Marie Sammons (Dave) of St. Simons; a son Joseph A. Rainer, Jr. of McDonough; and stepson Donnie Foster of McDonough. Joe also had a granddaughter, Grace Sammons of St. Simons who always brightened his day. He is also survived by brothers Andy Rainer of Jonesboro, and Fred Rainer of McDonough. Last but not least, Joe will be sorely missed by his ever faithful four legged snacking companion “Reagan.” Ruff Ruff!
Per Joe’s wishes, there will be no service but condolences may be sent to the family at P. O. Box 2289, McDonough, GA 30253.
In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations to the Kensley Grace Foundation, @KensleyGrace.com.
