Joshua Michael Heath's Obituary
Joshua M. Heath
May 31, 2000 – March 6, 2025
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Joshua Heath, an explorer whose journey ended far too soon at the age of 24. Though his time with us was brief, he lived each day with boundless curiosity, kindness, and a love for the world that was truly rare.
From the mountains he climbed to the roads he wandered, Joshua found beauty in every corner of life. His adventurous soul could never be contained, and his laughter echoed in the hearts of everyone he met. He embraced strangers as friends and treated friends as family, leaving a trail of love and light wherever he went.
More than anything, Joshua was a kind-hearted soul, always ready with a smile, a helping hand, or a story from his latest adventure. He loved deeply, without hesitation, and brought joy to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather George Wikle and his grandmother Alice Heath. He is survived by his parents, Craig and Debbie Heath, his sister, Taylor Bland (Dylan Bland), his grandfather, Ronald Heath, and his grandmother Beatrice Wikle as well as aunts, uncles, cousins and his niece, all of whom will forever cherish the warmth of his spirit and the memories he gifted us.
Though his path has led him beyond our sight, we take comfort in knowing that he is still exploring. We hold fast to God’s promises that our roads will one day converge again.
A family celebration of Josh’s life will be held at a later date.
