Joseph was born in Flint, Michigan, on February 11, 1943, the son of the late Joseph and Betty Katrinic. On February 12, 1966, he married the love of his life, Donna Mazzola, who preceded him in death on June 23, 2016. Joseph was employed with GM Truck and Bus for over 30 years. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus 3rd Degree Swartz Creek Council.
Joseph had a deep love for his family, always cherishing the time spent with his children and grandchildren. He was an avid gardener, finding joy and peace in tending to his fruits and vegetables. He always enjoyed spoiling his Dogs who brought him much comfort and happiness. Joseph also loved spending time up north with Donna during his retirement years where he hosted many family and friends.
Surviving are his children Joseph (Linda) Katrinic Jr. and Chandra (Wayne) Buller; grandchildren JJ Hoss, Sierra Hoss, and Joey Katrinic III; and siblings Peggy Rutherford, Toni Delaware, Fran Lundberg, Joanne Jackson, Nick Katrinic, Bill Katrinic, and Michael Katrinic. He was preceded in death by siblings Stephanie Katrinic, Carol Gordon, and Tommy Thomas.
Contributions may be made to St. Francis Retreat Center in Dewitt, Michigan where Joe spent several years with the Franciscan Brothers during high school.

We would like to offer a special thank you to the staff at Brookdale and Swan Hospice. Your kindness and patience while caring for Joe meant a great deal and we are forever grateful.
