Josh Whitcomb Obituary
Josh Andrew Whitcomb, 34, of Billings, unexpectedly passed away at his home on June 13, 2010. Josh was born on Oct. 17, 1975, in Billings, the son of Donald and Carol (Hoines) Whitcomb.
Josh attended Boulder Elementary, Will James Junior High and Senior High School, before receiving his GED. He mastered his talents as a mechanic, something he learned from his father at a very young age. He continued learning and advancing his skills from various mentors and excelled in his field, until a job-related injury in 2009. He was a true artist and was considering perusing training for graphic design. Josh worked for various auto mechanic shops in Billings, most recently, L. P. Anderson.
He loved anything fast, having a need for speed! He had a passion for drag racing and raced his car and helped his dad and friends with their race cars. If Josh wasn't working on cars, he would spend time with his family and friends, and caring for animals. He had many cherished pets over the years. He was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
On Feb. 23, 2007, Josh married Brittny Sloman of Billings. They loved and cared for each other and spent all their free time together, opening their door to friends and animals needing help.
Josh is survived by his wife Brittny Whitcomb of Billings; parents, Don and Carol Whitcomb of Billings; brother Bryan (Isabelle) Whitcomb of Rock Springs, Wyo.; sister, Lori Whitcomb (Billie Liverpool) of Billings; nieces and nephews, Aylisa, Nichole, Byron and Matilda Whitcomb, Shavaun Gregory and Aaliyah Liverpool; grandmother, Louise Whitcomb; numerous aunts and uncles and cousins; best friend, Chad Torgrimson and many other friends too many to mention. Josh is also survived by his mother and father-in-law, Sandy and Lisa Nace and brother-in-law, Wyatt Summers.
He was preceded in death by grandparents, Selma and Sigur Hoines and Byron Whitcomb; and Brittny's sister, Lauren Sloman.
Cremation has taken place. Memorial services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, June 18, at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary. Memorials may be made to Help For Homeless Pets or the charity of one's choice.
