Joseph Duran Caron

Joseph Duran Caron, age 67, of Kendallville, IN passed away on Monday, November 29, 2021 at his residence.  Mr. Caron was born on March 25, 1954 in Kendallville, IN to Robert Caron and Mary Jo (Babin) Fleck.  Joe was a lifetime motorcycle mechanic and was extremely dedicated to his craft.  He enjoyed being outdoors, fishing, mushroom hunting and sitting outside “Watching the woods wake up.”   Joe loved to go swimming with his girlfriend, Nell and their canine companions.   Joe loved being on his Harley and working on his friend’s bikes.  He was a man who always made time for his friends and known to put everything on hold to rush to a scene, where a friend needed their motorcycle fixed.  Playing cards with his sister Valerie and a good cup of coffee were a couple things Joe really appreciated.  Joe loved his family and friends and will be greatly missed by them all.
