Joseph L. Littlewolf

(May 6, 1968 - October 25, 2014)

Joseph Lee Littlewolf, age 46, of Mahnomen, MN, lost his battle with cancer on Saturday, October 25, 2014, under Hospice Care of the Red River Valley at the Mahnomen Health Center in Mahnomen.

Joe was born in Mahnomen on May 6, 1968, the youngest child of Melvin and Janice (Busse) Littlewolf. He grew up and attended school in Mahnomen. Following high school, Joe attended welding and carpentry classes at Minnesota State Community and Technical College Moorhead. He was employed by Gordon Construction for many years. Last fall, Joe was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and his failing health required him to move into the nursing home. A true outdoorsman, Joe loved to go trapping, hunting, ricing and leeching. His spare time was often spent with friends and family. He proudly served as a father figure to Lucas, Jamison and Mark. Joe was very generous and his big heart allowed him to truly adore his nieces and nephews. He would treat them to new school clothes, fair tickets and a variety of fun festivities! Joe would keep up with their activities and frequently join in. They liked to go camping, sledding in the winter, ice fishing and various other events. He will be missed by many.

Joe is survived by his mother, Janice Smith, Mahnomen; brothers: Michael Ray Littlewolf, Mahnomen, Carl (Kaylee) Smith Jr., Ogema, Eddie Beaulieu, White Earth, MN; sisters: Wendy Littlewolf and Rebecca Smith, both of Mahnomen and Dolly Beaulieu, Paula Littlewolf, Mickie Jean Bevins, Lacey Littlewolf and Angi Bevins, all of White Earth; many nieces and nephews and several aunts and uncles. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, father and two special uncles.

A Memorial Mass will be held Wednesday, October 29, 2014, at 11 a.m. at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Beaulieu. A time of gathering will be held one hour prior to Mass at the church on Wednesday.
