With heavy hearts, the family shares the sudden, unexpected and tragic passing of their beloved Joshua. His loss has left an unimaginable emptiness in the hearts of his family, friends and everyone who knew and loved him.




Joshua was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend who meant so much to the people around him. He brought so much love, laughter and light into the lives of everyone around him. His smile, his energy and the joy he brought to others will never be forgotten.




Joshua had so much life ahead of him, so many dreams to chase, goals to accomplish and memories still left to make with the people who loved him most. He was preparing to graduate, looking forward to celebrating an upcoming birthday and excited to become an uncle, milestones that should have been filled with happiness, excitement and celebration. At only 17 years old, his life was just beginning making this loss even more devastating for everyone who knew and loved him.




As the family navigates this unimaginable loss, they are asking for support to help with funeral and memorial expenses so Joshua can be given the beautiful farewell he deserves. Every donation, prayer and share is deeply appreciated.




Please continue to keep Joshua’s parents, grandparents and his two siblings in your thoughts and prayers. They are deeply hurting and experiencing a pain and loss that no family should ever have to endure.




Thank you for honoring Joshua’s memory.

Forever 17

We Love You Jawsh
