Obituary for Joshua Kraft, "Krafty"

Joshua Emil Prentiss Kraft was born April 28, 1988, and passed away July 25, 2023. He was a writer of Fantasy novels and poetry and had a passion for music. When he first picked up the guitar, it took only a year to be self-taught. He is survived by his mom Rebecca Merriman, brother Dillon Hovenkamp, grammy Shirley Bickers, and grampy Scott Bickers.

After he had a stoke May 14, 2018, he became very good at building bikes. After he passed, we donated all the bike parts to charity, I believe he would have wanted that.

There will be a celebration of life at Bear Creek Park on August 26, 2023, with a potluck, please bring a dish for the celebration.

I love you my baby boy and will miss you so very much, it hurts my heart.
