Obituary
Joel Martin Aganan Beltran, D.O., age 63, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, March 20, 2023. The son of Jose and Lydia (Aganan) Beltran, Joel was born January 30, 1960, in Manila, Philippines.
Joel attended Michigan State University for both his undergraduate degree and for medical school. It was also where he met the love of his life, Katie Herrington. They were married on June 15, 1991, and shared 31 years together. He worked as a Neurologist with Covenant HealthCare in Saginaw for his entire career. Joel poured all of his time, energy, and passion into his family and his patients, his two greatest loves in life. He will be remembered for his zany sense of humor and his ability to lend a joke to nearly any conversation or situation. Joel will forever be missed by those who knew and loved him.

Joel was preceded in death by his father, Jose Beltran; and his father-in-law, James Herrington.
Visitation will take place on Friday, March 24, 2023, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Fischer Family Funeral Home, 504 N. Michigan Avenue, Saginaw, MI 48602.

I am very sorry to hear of Dr. Beltran's passing. He was my mother's neurologist for many, many years. He was one of her absolute favorites. I accompanied her to all of her appointments and we both enjoyed visiting with him so much. He had a wonderful bedside manner, which is sometimes hard to come by today. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, his family. Shannon Henige
