Arthur Joseph Duhon, Sr. of Haynesville went home to be with his Lord on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. He was born on March 23,1930 in Lafayette, Louisiana to Arthur Duhon and Agnes Alleman. He served in the United States Air Force and was awarded the Korean Service Medal and Good Conduct Medal.
Joe was a retired math teacher and baseball coach at both Midway Jr. High and Woodlawn High School. He also taught many how to swim during 1964-1969, when he managed Cedar Grove Swimming Pool. He favored teaching and would teach anyone who was willing to learn.
Joe was a sports enthusiast supreme. He enjoyed playing golf so much that he played until the age of 92. He also loved to watch his favorite teams on T.V. He was a St. Louis Cardinal baseball fan, and even tried out for them after high school before joining the Air Force. ''He was a Tiger on Saturday and a Saint on Sunday" when football came around. But more than anything, he adored his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and he let everyone know. He lived 94 years on this earth, but will live an eternity in Heaven walking alongside his beloved Kay and worshiping his Creator. Joe was an outstanding Father and Poppy. He cherished his family and loved to be around them. One of his greatest joys at the end was spending time with his great-great grandson Sutton, that would brighten his smile. He will be greatly missed by those who knew him best and loved him most.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife Katherine Stewart Duhon; brother Thurston Louis Duhon; sister Eunice Duhon Simoneaux.
