Joel M. Orgeron Sr.

Joel M. Orgeron, Sr., 59, joined his Heavenly Father on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Joel had a great sense of humor and an unassuming demeanor. He was a big man with a really big heart who stood up for what he believed in. He went above and beyond on a consistent basis for everyone. He loved sports, cooking, and hunting. Above all else, he loved being Kerry’s husband of 39 years, a father, and a Pops. He was very passionate about his faith in Christ. Jesus was his Lord and Savior. He will be missed beyond belief. Heaven gained an angel. We love you Joel, Dad, Pops.
