Albert H. “Joe” Languet III
BELGRADE – With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Joe Languet of Belgrade, who left us on Aug. 14, 2024 at the age of 51. Despite his enduring struggle with mental health, Joe was known for his profound kindness, humility, and love for life’s simple pleasures. Joe was always guided by an enduring love for nature, his family, and his cherished dogs.
A proud veteran with distinction in both the Army and the Marine Corps, Joe served his country with honor and dedication. Though his journey was marked by struggle, his rough exterior belied a profound kindness. He was known for his selflessness, often going out of his way to help others, and would have given the shirt off his back to those in need. His love for the outdoors was a source of great solace and joy, and he found peace and fulfillment in nature’s beauty.
His passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Sarah Coakley Languet; his children India Languet and Chance Languet; and a host of friends and family who remember him for his generous spirit and his unwavering love.
Joe will be remembered not only for the challenges he faced but also for his capacity to touch the lives of those around him with his generosity, humor, and affection.
In lieu of flowers,
the family asks that donations be made to a charity supporting mental health or veterans in his honor.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
