Joshua Michael Ketchum May 3, 1996 – May 1, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Joshua Michael Ketchum, age 28, who left us far too soon on May 1, 2025, in Jackson, Mississippi.
Josh was a bright light in the lives of those who knew and loved him. His warmth, humor, and unmistakable presence left a lasting mark on everyone he met. A devoted fan of fantasy football, Josh took great pride in crafting the perfect lineup each season, always ready with a stat or strategy to share. His passion for sports extended to his beloved New Orleans Pelicans and Saints, with some of his happiest moments spent cheering alongside his family during game days.
Josh had an eye for style and a deep love for sneakers, collecting pairs that reflected his personality-bold, unique, and full of character.
Josh's memory will live on in the stories we share, the laughter we remember, and the love he gave so freely.
He is deeply missed by his loving parents, Michael and Lisa Ketchum; his cherished grandfather, Jim Caldwell; his sister and close friend, Jamie Lynn Jones, and her husband Matthew; and his treasured nephew, Beau Jones, who brought him immense joy and pride.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Shirley Caldwell, his paternal grandparents, Jasay and Ann Ketchum, and his aunt and uncle, Joe and Donna Curet.
