Joseph Lareau Obituary
December 27, 1984 - July 10, 2021
Pasco, Washington - Joseph D. Lareau III (36) left those he loved much too soon, Saturday, July 10th, while enjoying a camping trip with his family at Steamboat Rock State Park in Grand Coulee, Washington. Joseph was born December 27, 1984 in Royal Oak, Michigan to Joseph Lareau II and Linda Lareau. He graduated from Gig Harbor High School where Joseph was on the yearbook staff as a photographer. He served with the Tacoma, Washington Police Explorer Program. An avid online gamer, Joseph also enjoyed the out-of-doors, fishing, target shooting and just going for long drives in the mountains.
The memories of Joseph are closely held and cherished by his parents: Joseph D Lareau II & Linda Lareau; sister: Michelle Iverson (Justin Rastovac); brother: Rodger Iverson (Megan); nieces: Cadence & Melody; grandmother: Lillian Ruth Walsh; many aunts, uncles, and cousins. In lieu of a service the family is asking that you just think of him and have a beer.
