Joshua Sherman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 30 to Jul. 1, 2018.
It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the passing of beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend. Josh is the adored first born child of Margo Shabinsky and Jeff Sherman, deeply loved brother of Benjamin, Matthew and Rebecca, cherished grandson of Laya and Sol Shabinsky and the late Grace and Cy Sherman, devoted and revered nephew and cousin to his many aunts, uncles and cousins.

To know Josh was to love Josh. Josh was a beautiful and extraordinary human being. Josh leaves an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him. Josh will always be remembered for his gentle and loving soul, his caring and thoughtfulness, his kindness, his selflessness. Josh was a gentleman. Josh exemplified the definition of a true mensch.

Josh will forever hold an enormous and irreplaceable place in our broken hearts.

Shiva: Sunday through Wednesday 7-9 p.m. 650 Island Park Drive.

Our most sincere thanks to the staff in the ICU at the Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital for their tireless efforts and dedication.

Donations in Josh's memory may be made in support of the ICU at the Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital. www.ohfoundation.ca
