Joshua Leon James Milner

Born July 8, 1977 - Passed August 11, 2025

Joshua Leon James Milner, known to all as Josh, passed away on August 11, 2025, at the unfair age of 48. He left this world surrounded by his loving family, who considered it their greatest joy and honor to care for him in his final days.

Josh is survived by his mother, Elizabeth Armstrong; his sister and brother-in-law, Katelyn and Jon Ladd; his brother and sister-in-law, Jeremy and Brandi Whitmer; his sister and brother-in-law, Kari and Sean Brown; his beloved nieces and nephews-Ryan, Travis, Crew, Callie, Kaeira, and Josh; his cat Johnny Utah; and the countless friends who became family over the course of his life. He was preceded in death by his brother, Zach Milner; his stepfather, Whit Whitmer; his sister, Veronica (Annie) McCurry; and his beloved dog, Sasha.

Josh's passions were his friends, whom he loved fiercely, reading (especially Stephen King, a love he shared with his mother), very bad dancing, tacos, shed parties, and bourbon. He never missed crashing a girls' night and somehow mastered the art of hibachi. There was no problem, large or small he wouldn't help solve. Josh was our champion and our glue-loving, hilarious, and often extremely inappropriate in ways that became some of his most endearing qualities.

A celebration of Josh's life will take place in Atlanta in October, where all who loved him are welcome to gather, remember, and honor the joy he brought into the world. FSJ
