Louis Joseph Duperon Jr.
Died August 17, 2018
BARTON CITY – Louis Joseph Duperon Jr., 70, of Alcona County,
passed away Friday, August 17, 2018 at St. Mary’s of Michigan Hospital in
Saginaw.
Louis was born March 2, 1948 in Detroit, the son of Louis
Joseph Duperon Sr. and Margaret (Bisesi) Duperon.
Louis was a United States Army Veteran with a heart of
gold. He told his family “I always give
to the people, the people that need”, but it wasn’t until he passed that they
truly understood the extent of his generosity.
Louis had receipts upon receipts of donations he made to churches, soup
kitchens, schools, Right to Life, and anything he felt was a worthy cause.
The outdoors were very important to Louis. Whenever he was in the city, he couldn’t wait
to leave and return to nature. He loved
to fish in Leelanau County with his friend Willard Belanger, and to come back
with what they caught ready for his cousin, Mary Lou Mikowski to fry up. He
also enjoyed hunting; he would hunt with his nephews and his brother in-law
whenever he could.
His life was centered around his faith, and sharing his love
and kindness with others was as easy as breathing for him. Louis loved his family – visiting as often as
he could and calling when he could not.
Louis is survived by his daughter, Heidi (Shaun Sharpe)
Troutt; his sisters, Judy (John) Bolla and Debbie (Gordon) Flaim; his aunt,
Geniveve Gauthier; his grandson, Mikel (Paige Akers) Troutt; and many loving cousins,
nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 24
with the Rosary to be prayed at 7 p.m. at the Martinson Funeral Home of Suttons
Bay. The funeral mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25 at St.
Mary’s Church, Lake Leelanau, with the family greeting friends at 10 a.m. Burial will follow in St. Mary’s
Cemetery. Fr. Bryan Medlin will serve as
celebrant.
Memorial donations may be directed to St. Mary’s Church, PO
Box 340, Lake Leelanau, MI 49653 and/or to the All Saints Catholic Parish, 817
Sable St, Alpena, MI 49707.
