Joseph F. Lozon

Joseph F. Lozon, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on March 11th, 2025, at the age of 99. Joe was born on April 15th, 1925 to the late Wilfred and Emily Lozon in Sombra Township, Canada. On June 17th, 1943, he graduated from St. Clair High School and then voluntarily enlisted as a Canadian citizen in the United States Army on June 24th, 1943. Joe was awarded a Purple Heart after being critically injured as a Medic during his first mission in World War II on July 8th, 1944. After returning to St. Clair, he met and later married Rita Nelson on May 20th, 1950, and continued to work as a laborer for a rubber manufacturing company. Joe was an avid gardener, growing a variety of fruits and vegetables in his spare time. He enjoyed watching sports, mainly football and baseball, participating in bowling leagues, putting together puzzles, playing card games, and eating an assortment of delicious food Rita would make. But most of all, Joe enjoyed time spent with his family. There was never a doubt that he prioritized his love for family over everything else. That love planted seeds in the soil of the hearts of his family, which will continue to grow and blossom in his absence. Joe is preceded in death by his parents, Wilfred and Emily Lozon; his loving wife of 70 years, Rita Lozon; his son, Daniel Lozon; his granddaughter, Andrea DeVolder; and his brother, Garnet Lozon. Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter, Elaine Hendrick, and daughter-in-law, Terry Lozon; grandchildren, Kimberly Louden, Nicole (Mark) Archer, Lindsay Hendrick, Ryan (Jennifer) Hendrick, and Heather (Derek) Sutton; great-grandchildren, Joey and Jimmy DeVolder, Felix Archer, Kyla Leverenz, Elijah Galloway, Abbey and Dani Hendrick, and Aria Sutton; sister, Jane MacIntosh; and numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Chapter 12 in Port Huron, Michigan. The family will hold a graveside memorial service at a later time during the summer. To leave a message of comfort visit www.youngcolonial.com
