Joseph Morin Obituary
Dr. Joseph "Raoul" Morin April 18, 2024
ROATAN, HONDURAS - Dr. Joseph "Raoul" Morin, 77, passed away unexpectedly in his home on the island of Roatan, Honduras. Dr. Morin died peacefully on April 18th, 2024, of natural causes.
Prior to his move to Roatan, which he repeatedly called "the closest to Heaven I've ever been", Dr. Morin had been a Kingsport resident from 1979 to 2020 and was well-known as a local Pediatrician who cared for a large population of children in the area.
Dr. Morin was born in Flint, Michigan and is preceded in death by his father Joseph Raoul Morin, Sr.; his mother, Mary Childress Morin; and his brother James Morin.
He is survived by two sisters, Gayle Conlon, and Sandy Fields; his three children, Seth, Travis, and Camille; as well as five grandchildren, Alex, Gabriella, Zachary, Heather, and Eli.
Dr. Morin graduated with honors from Fairfax High School in Virginia where he was President of the Science Club. He earned his Bachelor of Science in 1967 from the University of Richmond and attended the Medical College of Virginia graduating in 1971.
Dr. Morin went on to serve in the Navy for 9 years completing his medical residency in Portsmouth, VA. and receiving an honorable discharge as a Lieutenant Commander in 1979.
Dr. Morin practiced medicine for 45 years and worked for Kingsport Pediatrics until he embarked into solo practice developing The Care Center and growing his practice to employ 20 individuals. He was dedicated to serving many under-served and saw many patients on state-funded insurance, helping the community without financial benefit.
Dr. Morin dedicated his life to Jesus Christ and was active in his church communities both in the States and abroad. He taught Bible Studies, served in prison ministries for 20 years, homeless ministries for 10 years and taught weekly at a Rehab in Honduras for over 3 years. Dr. Morin believed "Every child is born with a God-given talent. True joy in life comes from using that talent to glorify God!"
The family will receive friends Sunday, June 23, 2024, from 1:00-2:00 pm in the funeral home chapel.
A Celebration of Life Service will begin at 2:00 pm.
A private family Entombment Service will be conducted at Oak Hill Memorial Park.

Dr. Moran was our children's pediatrician for several years. I found him to be a most caring person and a doctor that didn't rush through an office visit. My children were never skeptical about their visits with him. My sincerest sympathy for you during this time. Dr. Moran is not lost, he is with his Heavenly Father.
