Publish in a newspaper
Joel was born on December 24, 1962, in Flint, Michigan, Joel spent his life in the community he cherished, residing in Clio, Michigan. On June 12, 1993, he married his best friend, Jodie France, and together they shared an extraordinary 40 years filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories while raising two wonderful children. Joel was a dedicated Trim Carpenter, embodying pride and craftsmanship in every project he undertook in the commercial industry. Recently, on July 13, 2025, Joel made an impactful decision to be baptized, a milestone he held dear as a testament to his enduring faith. He was a true believer who approached life with kindness and humility.
Joel found immense joy in driving his cherished Camaro and taking his family on memorable cruises. He was known for his easygoing nature and his ability to create a good time for everyone around him. However, above all else, his greatest joy came from his family. He loved them with all his heart, and his most important role in life was being the best pop-pop he could be. He was an amazing husband, dad, pop-pop, brother and friend who will be greatly missed.
