Joseph Francis Kadinger was born on January 6, 1970, to Alex N Kadinger Jr. and Beatrice J (Schuch).
Joe attended elementary school at St. Mary’s School in Durand and graduated from Durand High School. Joe loved hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling and working the land. He also loved great home cooked food and he could share where the best restaurants in the area were. He did many jobs in his lifetime but he always returned to driving truck. Joe enjoyed being on the road and for many years his traveling companion was Duke, his blue heeler. Joe traveled throughout all 48 contiguous states and many Canadian provinces with Duke by his side.
Joe loved all of his many dog companions throughout the years and each one was a heartbreaking loss when they passed on to their heavenly fields. His dog companion at the time of his death, Patches, is missing him very much but has been able to be located with family and is transitioning well.
Joe is survived by seven siblings; Kathy (Lawrence) Livingston of Spooner, Douglas (Cheryl Green) of Montana. Michael (Heidi) of Whitehall, Budd (Marcia) of Menomonie, Ronald (Jill) of Pine City, MN. Kaylene (Robert) Wolfe of Menomonie, John (Mary) of Michigan; several nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and many aunts and uncles.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
