Joshua Jost Obituary
Joshua Paul Jost
August 1, 1979 - August 7, 2024
MENOMONEE FALLS, WISCONSIN - Joshua Paul Jost, 45, of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, previously of Conyngham, Pennsylvania, and Mt. Zion, Illinois, passed away on August 7, 2024, after long struggling against primary sclerosing cholangitis. Josh was a fighter and maintained hope throughout his final days that a lifesaving transplant would come to pass.
A lifelong storyteller with a love for artistically applied embellishment, you wouldn't say Josh never met a stranger. Josh met all the strangers, and they parted as friends. He adored his fiancée, Hollybeth, and she was a loving caregiver throughout his illness and final days. The legend of Uncle Josh will live on through innumerable stories (some of them true!) told to nieces and nephews.
Josh is survived by his fiancee, Hollybeth Gower of Menomonee Falls; his parents Monty and Carole Jost of Clinton, Iowa; his brother Jacob (Rhea) Jost and his nephews and nieces Warren, Lena, and Calvin, all of Rochester, Illinois; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Visitation will be held at Schmidt & Bartelt of Menomonee Falls from 6 to 7 p.m. on September 5. A second visitation will be held at Calvert & Wikoff in Mt. Zion from 5 to 7 p.m. on September 19, with a celebration of life there at 11 a.m. on September 20.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to PSC Partners Seeking a Cure. Family and friends ask that you please register to become an organ donor.
