A graduate of Lewis and Clark Community College, Joshua believed in growth, hard work, and building a meaningful future. He carried those values with him throughout his career and personal life. He took pride in his accomplishments, yet remained humble and grounded — qualities that made him respected by peers and loved by friends.
Beyond his professional life, Joshua was deeply devoted to his family. He was a son, a relative, and a friend whose presence brought comfort and strength to those closest to him. His kindness, humor, and steady encouragement created lasting memories that will forever live in the hearts of his loved ones. The impact he made through simple acts of generosity and compassion cannot be overstated.

For those who feel able to contribute, your generosity will help ease the burden and allow the family to focus on honoring Joshua’s life and memory.
