Joseph Charles Coon
Joseph Charles Coon, age 51, of Shelby, died Tuesday evening, June 12, 2018 at his home surrounded by his family and friends.
Joe was born August 11, 1966 in Shelby. He was a 1984 graduate of Shelby High School and attended Pioneer Joint Vocational School. Joe worked for 20 years at Gorman Rupp in Mansfield and, for the last 14 years, has been the manager of Stone Creations in Ontario.

He donated lots of time and energy to the K of C for its success. He was also a member of Most Pure Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Shelby.
Joe was a generous man in all that he did. He had donated several gallons of blood through the American Red Cross throughout his life and was eager to lend a helping hand. Joe was always ready to laugh and adored spending time with his family and friends whether that be at the lake, beach or on the back porch.

He was preceded in death by his father, Charles Coon.
