With heavy hearts, we share that Joshua Southerland, my auntie Karen Southerland’s son, passed away after a courageous battle with stage 4 cancer. He was a kind soul who loved his animals, family and friends. He fought hard and was very brave until the end.

His mother is now faced with the heartbreaking task of saying goodbye, for now. Unfortunately, the cost of medical care and the final arrangements has created a financial burden.

Any amount helps, and if you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser or offering your prayers and kind words.

Thank you for helping us honor the memory of someone so deeply cherished. Your support means the world to our family during this time of sorrow.

With love and gratitude,

Jessica Painter
