Joseph Hoskins Obituary
With enduring love, we announce the passing of Joseph Lee Hoskins, who was born into the arms of Jesus on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at Baptist Health in Corbin, Kentucky.
Though his time on earth was brief, Joseph's presence touched the hearts of all who awaited his arrival. In his short life, he brought boundless love, comfort, and warmth — a beautiful reminder that even the smallest souls can leave the greatest imprint.
Joseph was preceded in death by his great-grandmother, Ernestine Turner.
He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Josie Hoskins (Charles Clark); father, Ethan Hubbard; his siblings, Caleb Clark and Naveah Johnson Clark; his grandmothers, Sheila Hicks and Phyllis Clark; nana, Melissa Streaker; and his uncles and aunts: Joseph Hoskins, Zack Davidson, Matthew Lewis, Angel Lewis, Summer Kilgore, Samantha Atkins, and Kendall and Chloe Streaker.
A visitation for Joseph Lee Hoskins will be held from 3:00 to 4:00 PM on Monday, July 14, 2025, at Vankirk-Grisell Funeral Home, with funeral services beginning at 4:00 PM, officiated by Rev. Scotty Farmer and Rev. Jeff Sturdivant.
He will be laid to rest at Hicks Cemetery in Manchester, Kentucky.
