Joshua Fink

Hi, my name is Renae Amshey, and I'm setting this gofundme up on behalf of Josh's mom, Bobbi; sister, Lindsey; and son, Jaedon. Lindsey is my closest friend, and Josh and I always called each other brother and sister (when older, definitely not back in our teens). Josh and my husband, Chad, were very close friends, and if it were not for Lindsey and Josh, Chad and I would not have found one another.

Josh was a unique human being. He was so full of love for others, which is evident by all of the posts people are making on social media. But he could also be oh so difficult and moody! When most people think of Josh, I think we see his beaming smile, and you can feel the warmth in his presence.

Last October, Josh made a post on social media of a picture of his view of the sand and water, and wrote, "Anxiety runs my life. I always feel like I'm not where I'm supposed to be. That going somewhere else will fix it. Right now I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be."

I imagine his own feelings contributed to Josh consciously making a point to make others feel loved and welcomed. Though we would like to believe he would be better here with us, I do hope he is feeling at peace, and that he is feeling he is where he is supposed to be. Aside from empathy: insert anger for him leaving us.

This past weekend, after a long journey with mental health, we suddenly and unexpectedly lost Josh. Along with friends and extended family, Josh left behind him his mom, sister, and son. They were not prepared in anyway to handle this situation. Though we cannot help with the crushing agony they are experiencing, we can help with the massive cost and financial strain that comes with death. After expenses, all residual money will go to Jaedon.

If you are in anyway positioned or able, please donate to help Josh's family.

The memorial is being planned for the end of October.
