Joshua Omelko Obituary
OMELKO _ Joshua Nathan, "The King" as he called himself ... passed away in his sleep suddenly but peacefully. A man / boy whose life was filled with charm, confidence, and charisma ... Josh was so full of life and laughter. Always happy, always smiling. If you didn't know Josh, you wanted to and if you did you could not help but love him. Josh was such a gift to his family that words really cannot describe how much we loved and will miss him. The loss is especially unbearable for his mother Iona and his father Kelly. His two younger sisters, Kelsey and Brianne, adored their big brother and will miss him so much. Our family will never be the same. We will forever miss his teasing laughter, and joy that Josh brought our family. His friends, I know feel the same way, the Coursin, and Wooding families, where he spent many happy days. Josh is survived by his loving girlfriend Hayley; grandmother Vera; aunts Celina, Linda, and Nancy; uncles Jimmy and Archie; and cousins Sadey, Lacey, Blair, Antia and Brittany. As for his friends, there are just too many to name. Joshua was born January 2nd, 1980 .... Passed away, April 30th, 2006. Funeral service will be held 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 13th, 2006 at Valley View Funeral Home, 14660 - 72nd Avenue, Surrey, BC.

Joshua,(Joshuat), Such a sweet happy boy. From orange pop, to chocolate bars, Transformers, and big huge smiles. No matter how old you were, you smiled and the whole world smiled with you. No matter where you are, you no doubt have everyone eating out of your hands.
I'll always love and miss you, Your loving aunt, Celina
