Brother Joseph Patrick LeBon, CSC
January 24, 1943-December 21, 2024
Brother Joseph Patrick LeBon, CSC, 81, died on Saturday, December 21, 2024 at Columba Hall, the University of Notre Dame. A member of the Midwest Province of Brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross, he was born the second of two sons on January 24, 1943 to Arthur F. and Alice (O'Rourke) LeBon in Upper Darby, PA. From 1949-1956, he attended Christ the King elementary school in Indianapolis, IN, and graduated from Cathedral High School, Indianapolis in 1960. Brother Joseph entered the Congregation of Holy Cross in June of 1960 taking final vows in 1964. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1964 with a BA in the classics. For 56 of his 57 years as a high school teacher, he ministered at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, OH where he taught Latin, French, religion, geometry, algebra, and computer programming (Pascal, C++ and Java). For nearly 40 years, he was the advisor for the school newspaper The Visor, which won many state and national awards for excellence. A legendary wordsmith, he assisted students, fellow teacher and administrators to use the proper words and usage to tell a story. When he retired from classroom teaching, he developed and maintained the Hoban website. He is preceded in death by his parents, and is survived by his brother Arthur.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, December 28 at St. Joseph Chapel, Holy Cross College from 9:30 to 10:30 am. The Mass of Resurrection will follow with interment afterward in St. Joseph's Cemetery of Holy Cross Village. Kaniewski Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.
