Joshua Goldberg Obituary

Joshua Goldberg April 7, 1982 – Feb. 24, 2006 Joshua recently moved to Thamkrabok Monastery in Thailand where he was ordained as a Buddhist Monk and Priest. His ordained name is Pra Tatsawuttoe, (Tat Sa Wut Toe) meaning – Teacher. He loved the Thai culture and felt very much at home in Thailand and at the Monastery. While in Thailand, Joshua was admitted to the hospital with an infection in his leg. He was about to be released when he died suddenly and peacefully in his sleep. He is now at rest at the Monastery enshrined in a place of high honor overlooking the Monastery which meant so much to him. Josh will be deeply missed by all whom he touched in his short but important life. He is survived by his mother, Linda of Novato, his father, Jim, of New York, his brother, Brian of Santa Rosa and his sister, Dana, of Texas. A Service and Chanting in Joshua's honor will be held at the Kadampa Buddhist Temple of San Francisco on Sunday, March 19th at 5:00 p.m. Transportation will be provided for those who would like to attend -- for information please e-mail [email protected] or [email protected]

Linda and Matt, Josh was such a warm and happy soul. I was happy to know that he found a certain amount of peace in the months and years before he left us. You know he made us work pretty hard during his years at North Bay, but his wit and humor made it more than worthwhile. Julie Langston and I are both sorry that we will not get to see him again. We wish you strength and joy in your memories of Josh.

To Josh's parents, I hadn't followed up on Josh since we spent a year together at North Bay Academy and was touched to hear that he fostered his spirituality. It sounds like something I would have very much liked to talk to him about.

I would like for you to know that Josh touched every person around him. In the one year I knew him, he made a profound impression on me and I think of him often. That said, I am saddended to hear of the loss of such a good and impacting person, but in keeping with his spiritual beliefs, must think that he is in a better place, and has earned his place there with every second he's spent here. My deepest condolences to you in this hard time.
