Joshua Bockhop Obituary

Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Joshua Bockhop, who left this world far too soon on October 23, 2025.

Josh was deeply loved by his family and friends and will be remembered for his warmth, humor, and the joy he brought into the lives of everyone who knew him. He had a special way of connecting with others - always ready with a smile, a quick joke, or a bit of good-natured sarcasm that could light up any room.

He will be forever missed by his mother Sarah Graffin, father Roger Bockhop (Kathy Bockhop), sisters, Jessica Bockhop-Schwoerer (Brian Schwoerer), Olivia Krahn-Bockhop, Hannah Kuehn (Matt Kuehn), and brother Jake Haase. Along with family members and close friends who shared an unbreakable bond with him. Their memories together - the laughter, the late-night talks, and the countless weekends spent side by side - will be cherished forever.

He is preceded in death by his stepfather Brian Graffin, grandparents, Dr. James & Donna Lomas and Leo & Ruth Bockhop.

Though his time with us was far too brief, Josh's legacy will live on through his loved ones and especially through his son Bryce Bockhop, who will grow up knowing the love, kindness, and strength that defined him.

The family takes comfort in knowing he is watching over them from above. His memory will remain forever in our hearts.

A celebration of Josh's life will be held at a later date for family and friends to attend and honor his memory.

Until we meet again, beloved son, brother, and father - your love will guide us always.

P.S. Hopefully you're having fun hanging out with Brian and Grandpa Lomas watching sports (Packers won last night by the way against the Steelers) Yay! And playing some long overdue cards with grandpa and grandma Bockhop.

I am so so sorry to hear about the loss of Josh. Having coached Josh in travel baseball in youth and again in a slow pitch softball league, I got to know Josh pretty well. He always gave 100%, scratch that, a 110% and always did what was asked of him. My son Zach and Josh were great friends and would always talk and try to meet up to spend some time together. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Josh Bockhop family and all his many friends. Josh will be greatly missed but his memory will last a lifetime!
