Joshua Harden Obituary
October 30, 1982 - April 14, 2015: Josh Harden passed away on April 14, 2015 after a courageous and heroic battle against the evil disease cancer. Josh was born on October 30, 1982 in Walnut Creek, California to Timothy and Laurie Harden. He attended Northgate High School in Walnut Creek and Clayton Valley in Concord and went on to Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo, California. Josh had a passion for the game of golf and decided to pursue a career doing what he loved. Josh entered the golf industry after college attending the Golf Academy of America, working and earning his caddie whites at TPC Boston and TPC Scottsdale, and most recently working
in Golf Operations Management. His present course was Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix, Arizona where he developed many close friendships and was adored by all of the regulars at the course. In golf, as in life, it is the follow through that makes the difference and his family are extremely proud of him and the way he battled to the end. Arizona is a top golf destination with many beautiful courses, but nothing tops the courses Josh is now playing, hitting them straight and long with his loved ones. He will be missed dearly and is survived by his parent's Timothy and Laurie, brother Matthew and his family (Andreea, Chloe-8, Paige-7, Grace-5, and Sofie-3), brother Andrew and his family (Jenna, Lyla-5, Ada-2, and Mason-1), and his sister Megan and her family (Oscar, and 2 year old twins Avery and Alexander). A celebration of Josh's life will be held Saturday, April 25 at 11:30 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, located at 2202 N 74th St Scottsdale, AZ 85257. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to First Tee Golf for under privileged kids in the name of Josh Harden, www.thefirsttee.org.

"Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes Because those who love with their heart And soul there is no such thing as separation." Rumi
I have always felt that our family came together here and at this time, purposely. We never had a family gathering that wasn't filled with love, laughter and good food! Josh was a part of this family here and I'm sure he's setting up the next golf game for the gathering in heaven.
Papa & Uncle Jack will greatly appreciate having a pro in their game!

I join an army of friends of Josh Harden who deeply mourn his passing. He was a great young man with a promising future- cut short by a wicked disease that showed no mercy. He fought like a soldier but now is at peace! Love you Josh and all your sweet family. RIP.

I have such a heavy feeling in my heart. Words cannot even begin to describe it. It's hard to accept the reality that I will never be able to speak to you, hug you or see you again. What makes it so hard is that we shared our lives together and saw each other almost every day for 4 years. We were a big part of one another's lives. I will always cherish the years we spent together. You had such a good heart, even if you weren't always aware of it. It amazed me how, even while battling this horrible disease, you still were concerned about my well being. You told me you still care about me a few weeks ago, and that I should never change who I am because I have "rare traits" that are hard to find these days. And I'm so glad I had the opportunity to let you know how much you mean to me as well. When we last spoke, I told you that I still care about you and that you will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm going to miss you. Love you always.....
