It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Joseph "Joe" Atley Tinsman III, age 78, of Brunswick, Georgia, on October 16, 2024. Joe was a devoted husband, loving father, and proud veteran of the United States Coast Guard.

He served his country in the Coast Guard during the Vietnam War from October 20, 1964 - October 18, 1968. During that time he was exposed to agent orange which ultimately led to him battling multiple myeloma cancer in the last 8 years of his life.

Captain Joe loved his life on the water. He has had numerous boats and vessels, all that he proudly would maintain and show off to anyone that would listen to him. He had a deep love for animals and his 3 cherished pups Charlie, Lucy and Goldie will miss him dearly.

Joe is survived by his beloved wife Nell Tinsman; proud father to his three children Joseph Atley Tinsman IV (Angela), Brooke Tinsman-Anderson (Donnie) and Doug Tinsman; sister Carol Ann Leblanc; stepfather to Erin Tinsman (April) and Jason Hall (Tiffani); and 7 grandchildren: Cole, Chloe, Kadince, Kali, Lizzie, Nathan and Erin.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at 2 PM at Brunswick Memorial Park, followed by the memorial service and burial. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Pet Doctor of Brunswick. Jimmy Buffett/Margaritaville type attire is requested.
