Joshua entered this world fast and with an intensity that continued throughout his life. He was a happy baby whose vibrant smile and adventurous spirit brightened every room he entered.

As an adult that spirit could be seen in his enthusiasm for the outdoors. His passions included white water rafting, skiing, snowboarding, scuba diving and riding his motorcycle. His outgoing nature attracted friends to him wherever he went.

More than anything, Joshua loved his family. His lifelong dream of becoming a father was realized when he and Emily welcomed Thira Rose into this world. Thira Rose not only completed their family but provided the life meaning Joshua had longed for.

Joshua left this earth far too soon. He leaves behind many broken hearts that will not soon heal. Ultimately we find comfort that we were able to experience the true force of life Joshua was. His spirit will continue to be felt in all of our lives.
