My condolences to Watkin family sorry for your loss, I remember Josh when he came to eat subs at my place. We have a very good time talking about the past. We have a great time laughing. He is with the Lord hand and God blessed your family!!! So sorry for your loss!!!

Prayers to the Watkin family. Josh will surely be looking after you from heaven above. He was truly a kind, caring man of Christ. I'm so sorry for your loss and pray that many joyful memories get you through this sad time.

We cannot imagine the pain that your family is going through. Although we do not personally know Josh's family, we became acquainted with him through his tree trimming business. We had Josh remove trees both at our old house and our current one. He was always so honest & full of integrity. He spoke with respect to his crew and made sure to clean up after a project was complete. Most recently this spring we had Josh remove a tree and hang a swing in a nearby tree. The sparkle in his eye when...

So sorry for this terrible loss! He will be missed by many. I pray for healing for his family. We will all see him again in heaven. Love from cousin Judy Lallier Pasick

Josh, You will be missed. You have helped me many times in the past after storm or wind damage. You are a real joyful person. Amy and your children should be proud of you as a good husband and a responsible dad. My deepest sympathy to all of you including Josh's dad. Wally Fu, customer Holland, MI August 23, 2021

Bruce and I are so grieved by this loss- Josh was our go-to arborist-tree-maestro and friend- always kind, light, caring, while never being less than the best of professionals - absolutely special man, and a loss keenly felt. Deepest condolences; blessings in this impossible time- Bruce Evans and Linda Graham

My deepest condolences. Holding your family up in prayer.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Watkin family. Josh AKA Pooch was the kindest most genuine person I've ever had the pleasure to know. Playing soccer with him are some of my fondness memories. He was so competitive, but so caring and loving of everyone. There is no better definition of a kind man then Josh Watkins. He will be missed by so many. Although his time was way to short he will be welcomed with open arms in the heavens above. He was a devoted Christian and he is now in the care...

Josh, you were the best friend anyone could have hoped to have. I pray the Lord's grace, mercy, comfort and provision will fall upon Amy, the kids, your parents, sisters and friends. I will miss you.
