We are heartbroken to share the sudden and tragic loss of Josh Downey.

Josh was tragically taken from us, leaving behind a deep void in the lives of everyone who knew and loved him. He was a devoted dad, a hard worker, and a genuinely kind person.

Above all else, Josh loved his children. He was incredibly proud of his kids Gracie and Jacob. His greatest joy in life was being their dad.

This unimaginable loss has left his family and loved ones grieving and trying to navigate the days ahead. We are asking for support to help ease the financial burden during this devastating time and to help care for Josh’s children as they move forward without him. Any funds raised will go directly toward supporting his family and helping with expenses related to this tragedy.

We are grateful for any support, whether through a donation or by sharing this page. Most importantly, we ask for continued prayers for Jacob, Gracie, and all of Josh’s family and friends as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

Organized by Chuck Claude and Kimberly Wilde (friend of Josh and his sister, Christy). This fundraiser is to support the children of Josh. The funds will be withdrawn by Josh’s father, John, who will use the money directly to support the kids and their needs.

Josh was a co‑worker of my husband and a friend to both of us, and I am also a friend of his sister. I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of the family.
