Joshua "Josh" Jay Fiene, 18, of Dixon, IL, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at CGH Medical Center in Sterling, IL. He worked as a Welder for Bellini's Custom Welding & Auto Repair Inc.

Josh was born on April 29, 2007, in Winfield, IL, the son of Jay Fiene and Daphne (Lies) Gallentine. He graduated this year from Dixon High School. To know Josh was to know he loved things that went fast - he loved his truck, snow mobiling, and go-cart racing. He also loved to spend time outdoors and going to bonfires with friends. Josh was proud of his work as a welder and loved what he did. He will truly be missed by all who had the privilege to call him family & friend.

Josh is survived by his father, Jay Fiene; his mother and step-father, Daphne (Rustin) Gallentine; siblings, Preston and Layne Cook; step-brother, Kolin Gallentine; paternal grandmother, Monica Fiene; maternal grandparents, Dale (Cindy) Law; paternal great-grandmother, Marianne Gavette; three uncles, Clay (Cara) Law, James Law, Nick Fiene; and many cousins, extended family, and friends.
