Joshua Caleb Clark, age 15, of Nicholasville, KY, passed away unexpectedly on February 12, 2025, after a brief illness. Born on February 26, 2009 in Nicholasville, KY.
Joshua was a young man whose light shone brightly in every room he entered. He greeted the world with a warm smile and his first word, “hi,” captured his spirit: kind, welcoming, and filled with joy. His friendly and positive disposition made him a friend to all, he never knew a stranger. He was deeply loved by his family, who appreciated his generous and serving spirit.
Joshua had a special fondness for hiking, collecting big leaves, and exploring the outdoors. In addition to his fascination with life, he also expressed himself through his (extreme) creativity and artwork.
Joshua's kindness, generosity, and joyful heart left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. His ability to see the positive in every situation, his love for his family, and his outgoing personality will forever be remembered. Although his time with us was brief, Jesus’ shined through him brightly.
Joshua is survived by his loving parents, John D. and Renee (née Reeder) Clark, his siblings Benjamin (Ben), Timothy (Timmy), and Rebecca (Becky) Clark. He was the cherished grandson of David J. and Jan (née Hillier) Clark, Elizabeth (née Miller) Reeder, Cody and Kathleen Reeder. Joshua was a nephew to Crystal Clark, Cecilia (née Reeder) and Mark Wolfe, Luke and Rachel Reeder, Martin Reeder, and Erin Reeder. With a host of many cousins, great aunts and uncles, and one great grandmother Janet (née Gusweiler) Reeder. He was predeceased by a sibling (early miscarriage).
Do not be dismayed, Joshua, the Joy Maker, has seen and is with our Lord Jesus Christ.
