Joshua Haas Obituary

Joshua "Josh" James Haas of Salem, Missouri, formerly of Mountain Home, Arkansas, passed away May 20, 2025, in Licking, Missouri, at the age of 46.

He was born Oct. 1, 1978, in Brigham City, Utah, the son of Ronald Haas and Melanie Clark. On Oct. 19, 2007, he married the love of his life, Crystal Rick, in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

Josh was a true jack-of-all-trades. Over the years, he worked at a sawmill, helped build homes, performed engineering and electrical work, cooked in restaurants and spent some time as a DJ. He was known for being a bit of a wildcard, and was always ready to try something new. His creativity shone through in his love for fire spinning, a passion he pursued with his friends in Fire Tribe 870.

More than anything in the world, Josh loved spending time with his daughter, Trinity, painting models, watching movies and playing games. He had a magnetic spirit and a heart that welcomed everyone. He seemed to know a friend wherever he went, and those who knew Josh will deeply feel his absence.

Josh is survived by his wife, Crystal Haas; mother Melanie Clark; daughters Trinity Haas and Liberty Watkins; sons Eli and RJ; brother Phil Farris; and a host of friends and extended family whom he loved dearly.

He was preceded in death by his father; his grandmother; and his close friends that he cherished as family, Blake, Glenn and Chan-NFA.

Visitation will be 1 p.m. Saturday, May 31, 2025. A Funeral Service for Josh will begin at 2 p.m. with Truman Fuller officiating. The location of services will be announced as soon as available.

I am Melanie's cousin and am sorry for her loss. She is taking it very hard. She has multiple sclerosis and so is bed ridden.
I did not know Josh very much except as a small child. I want to give my condolences to all who are having a difficult time with Joshua's death
