Joe lived in Dayton for the past 24 years, after spending his early years in Baytown, where he attended Baytown Sterling High School. He was a pipeline worker and a member of the Local 211 Union.

Throughout his life, Joe’s love for his family was unmatched. He and his wife, Stacy, shared 30 years of love and companionship.

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Murphy John Dugas and Frances Kay Duhon, his father-in-law, Robert Drake, and a nephew, Drake Nobles.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Stacy Dugas; children, April Dugas, Timothy Dugas and wife Kate, Sonny Dugas and wife Lindsey, Kacie Dugas, Brittanie Turnbull and husband Acie, and Lane Jarvis and wife Taylor; his mothers-in-law, Joyce Cheatham and Sherren Drake; his sister, Donna Reeves and husband Joe Glen; and his treasured grandchildren: Taylor, Landyn, Kynlee, and Harper, Jamie, Braxton, Hudson, and Holden, Connor and Hadlee, Bryson, Nathali, Nicole, and Bralynn, Rheagan and a special caretaker, Debra Edwards.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, December 28, 2024 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. at Pace Stancil Funeral Home in Dayton, Texas. At this time, no formal service is planned.

Joe will be deeply missed by his family and friends, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
