Joseph M. Depner Jr., age 49, of Wonder Lake passed away unexpectedly December 27, 2024. Loving son to Joseph Sr., and Leeann Depner. Cherished brother to Jessica Lord and Beloved uncle to Jim Lord. Adored nephew to Elsie and Tom Herron. Dear cousin to Micheal Herron, Dusty (Windy) Depner, Amanda (Zach) Hansen, Emily (Eddie) Lyon, and Eric (Sharon) Depner. Best friend and former spouse to Sheila Depner. Dear friend to many.
Joe was a skilled mechanic in the Wonder Lake Area for many years. He had a passion for helping people in the way of fixing cars. He was also a very talented welder. There was nothing Joe couldn't fix. He was a perfect example of how we should treat one another, always with love and respect. The world will be a little darker without Joe in it. He will be deeply missed.
