Joseph Francis St.Pierre

Joseph Francis St. Pierre, born June 25, 1956, in Burlington, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on May 31, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones. He was the beloved son of the late Charles Nelson St. Pierre and Martha Alpha Davis, and the cherished brother of Laurie Grace St. Pierre.

Joseph, known to many as LJ, lived a life marked by grit, honor, and an unwavering love for his family. A proud patriot, he served his country with distinction in the United States Marine Corps. His time in the service shaped the strength and resilience he carried with him throughout his life.

LJ had a deep love for motorcycles, the open road, and the brotherhood that came with it. Riding was more than a passion it was his freedom and peace. He found joy in the roar of an engine and the quiet miles beneath the sky, always surrounded by those who shared his same spirit.

A master tinkerer and self-taught mechanic, he could disassemble and rebuild just about anything with wheels or wires. He was a true craftsman and jack of all trades skilled in plumbing, carpentry, electrical work, and auto mechanics. He built every home his family lived in with his own two hands and instilled in his children the value of hard work, determination, and the pride of creating something real.

LJ was not only a builder of things, but a builder of dreams. An entrepreneur at heart, he was always envisioning new ways to provide for his family and create a better future. His intelligence, drive, and work ethic were unmatched. Above all, he was a devoted father and a loyal friend. He pushed those he loved to be their best, offering both tough love and endless encouragement along the way.

He is survived by his daughters, Nathina Myers, Amanda Hodges, and Krystal Madsen; his sons, Justin Shields and Mathew Shields; and his sister, Laurie Grace St. Pierre. His legacy lives on through them in their strength, in their compassion, and in their pursuit of lives well lived.

Joseph Francis St. Pierre was a man of integrity, resilience, and heart. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him but never forgotten. His stories, his laughter, and his lessons will echo through the lives of those he touched.
