Joshua Blow Obituary
SACO - Joshua James Blow, 22, tragically passed away, May 9, 2018, in Okeechobee, Fla., from injuries sustained while working in the RV resort he managed for his family.
He was born Oct. 27, 1995, the son of James and Michelle Millette Blow. Josh was a 2014 graduate of Thornton Academy, and attended ITT Tech in Cape Coral, Fla. He was the park manager at Big Lake RV Resort, in Okeechobee.
Josh was always a lifelong adventurer. And it was only after graduating, his true free spirit began to blossom. Josh had dreams of traveling to nowhere and everywhere, barefoot, in an old RV bus. He loved surfing and long boarding, playing his guitar and just listening to music.
Family was everything to Josh. He especially loved his family trips to Canada with his Mom, Dad, brothers, cousins and friends; affectionately called the "Canadian Squad."
With a contagious smile and huge heart, you instantly fell in love with him. He always found the best in everyone.
Upon his passing, his organs were donated in the hopes of changing another's life. He will be sadly and deeply missed, yet lovingly remembered for his smile, sparkling eyes, freckles, his sense of humor, and his love for everyone he met.
Survivors include his proud parents, James and Michelle; his brothers, Jordan, Zachary and Preston; his dog, Max; his grandparents, Dale and Annette Blow, Beverly McComb, Raymond and Hermance LeBlanc; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and his loving girlfriend, Haley Hutchins.
