Dr. Malton Joseph "Joe" Bullock, Jr.

Dr. Joe Bullock, 79, of Bolton, Mississippi, passed away peacefully in Austin, Texas, surrounded by his loving family. He was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend.

A native of Moss Point, Joe graduated from Moss Point High School where he excelled in sports. He earned his undergraduate degree from Mississippi College in Clinton, Mississippi, followed by his master’s degree in Chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. He later fulfilled his lifelong calling to medicine, obtaining his Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Mississippi Medical School in Jackson, Mississippi.

After completing residency in Mobile, Alabama, Dr. Bullock moved his young family to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and devoted 25 years to serving as a compassionate and dedicated Obstetrician and Gynecologist. He deeply loved his patients and took great pride in the countless babies he helped bring into the world. His commitment to care, kindness, and excellence left a lasting impact on generations of families.

Outside of medicine, Joe cherished the outdoors. He found his greatest joy at his beloved farm, spending time hunting and fishing alongside family and friends. These moments of laughter, storytelling, and togetherness were among his most treasured memories.

Joe was preceded in death by his father, M.J. “Red” Bullock, Sr., and his mother, Ida Belle Richardson Bullock.

He is survived by his son, Josh; daughter-in-law, Amanda; and his three adored grandchildren, Caroline, Luke, and Anna Katherine Bullock, all of Austin, Texas. He is also survived by Dorothy "Dot" Morrison of Diamondhead, Mississippi; and Linda and Julie Bullock of Moss Point, Mississippi; and his niece and nephews, Becky, Chris, and Chuck Morrison.

In accordance with his wishes, no funeral or memorial service will be held. The family gathered for a private graveside service to honor and remember his life. In honor of Joe's memory, donations may be made to Dantzler Memorial Methodist Church online at www.dantzlermmc.org or by mailing a check noted “Joe Bullock” to P.O. Box 8704, Moss Point, MS 39562.
