Joshua Little Obituary
Beloved husband of Melissa Little nee Lauwasser. Loving father of Adalyn Rose Little. Proud son of Joseph and Kerry Little and son-in-law of Barbara Lauwasser and Jack (Jackie) Lauwasser. Anyone Josh met throughout his life whether it be 30 minutes or 30 years, was impacted by him. One can only wish to be surrounded by so much love in a lifetime and Josh was just that, he was loved. On December 11, 2023, at 35 years old he took his last breath. His wife Melissa was by his side, as she has been throughout the last 12 years of his life. At 33 years old she is a widow. However, with great sadness comes light, Josh gave Melissa the most beautiful gift, his legacy in their 16-month-old daughter, Adalyn Rose. Although Addie will grow up without her Daddy, Josh will live on inside of her. We will see him in her smile, her kind heart, and the joy she brings to all of us. Especially, when she says touchdown, while cheering for Josh's favorite team the Green Bay Packers.

In 1993 our family moved into our home on Tebay Place, the same street as a little boy named; Josh. Josh quickly befriended the three Lesser kids and the families become fast and forever friends. We love and will miss Josh.
