On Saturday August 3rd, our dear Josh Kokell suffered a fatal heart attack while spending the day with his beloved wife, Melissa Ketcham, and surrounded by their dear friends and family aboard their boat in Northport Harbor. 

This was a sudden and unexpected tragedy, just days after their one year wedding celebration. 

Their family, and the entire community is shocked and saddened by this sudden loss.  

Josh will be remembered as a joyous,  bigger than life young man who loved to celebrate life with a giant smile and with Melissa, and all their friends and family.

Josh had a heart of gold and was always ready with a helping hand for anyone he loved.

Please share and help however you can, with this unexpected loss, as there are so many expenses and immediate costs and still pending responsibilities for Melissa to bear....

Josh is survived by the love of his life, his wife Melissa, his brothers Pete and David, his parents Kate and Todd, their dog Brody, and a heartbroken community of friends.

With great sadness and gratitude.
