God chose Joseph Jonathan Bourdage, 49, of Duluth, to be with him in a more peaceful place on Dec. 17, 2020.

Joe was a kind, compassionate, loving, and multi-talented person. His greatest talents were exhibited in carpentry and construction.

Joe was preceded in death by his grandparents, Mildred and Wilfred Gagne, and Hattie and Norman Bourdage.

Joe leaves behind his beloved daughter, Jala Jo and her fiancé, Jake Vukelich; parents, Carol and Normand Bourdage; sister, Theresa (John) Ray; brothers, Maurice, Noah (April), and Jacob (Keri); many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews; and his close friends.

Joe will be missed by all, but is no longer suffering.

Due to Covid restrictions, a private memorial service to be held, recorded and then shared here.
