Joshua A. Galbreath, 52, a longtime resident of Jaffrey, NH, passed away on August 28, 2025.

Born in Gardena, CA, on July 30, 1973, he was the son of Vincent E. and Karen L. (Noonan) Galbreath.

Joshua is survived by his wife, Shera Eddy; his three sons, Oden, Sabastian, and Brenden Galbreath; his father, Vincent Galbreath; and his siblings, Jason, Mandi, and Matt Galbreath.

Joshua found peace and happiness in the simple things—tending to his garden, casting a fishing line, and most of all, being with his family. The moments he spent fishing with his sons were among the most treasured of his life, creating memories that will forever live in their hearts. He had a gift for kindness, always ready to offer a helping hand, and he carried himself with a warmth that made others feel seen and cared for.

Joshua’s love, laughter, and gentle presence will be deeply missed, more than words could ever capture.

Services will be held privately.
