Joshua "Josh" Herbert Bridger, 34, passed away on November 8, 2025, in Vancouver, Washington. Born on November 2, 1991, in the same city he called home throughout his life, Josh brought warmth and generosity to all who knew him.
Josh was a man deeply connected to the natural world. He found joy and peace in the outdoors—whether casting a line into a quiet river, hiking through forested trails, or spending crisp mornings hunting. Nature was not just a hobby for Josh; it was where he felt most alive and at ease.
Those closest to him knew Josh as someone with a big heart and an unwavering willingness to help others. He was always ready to lend a hand, whether it was for family, friends, or someone in need. His giving spirit left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
Family meant everything to Josh. He shared a close bond with his mother Christine Sanders and his father Henry Bridger. He was a devoted brother to Dylan Sanders and Leilah Bridger. Josh also shared a loving relationship with his significant other Alex McNeely, whose companionship brought him great happiness.
Josh carried the memory of his younger brother Justin Bridger in his heart after Justin's passing on March 16, 2021. Their bond remained strong even in absence.
One of Josh's greatest joys was his dog Archie. The two were inseparable companions—Archie was more than just a pet; he was family and held a special place in Josh's heart.
Josh's presence will be deeply missed by those who loved him and by all who were touched by his kindness and generosity. May his memory bring comfort and peace to those who mourn his loss. A Funeral Service will be held on November 22, 2025, at 10:00 am at Evergreen Memorial Gardens 1101 NE 112th Ave. A Celebration of Life will be held on November 22, 2025, at 01:00 PM at Josh's family home 2396 36th St Washougal
