Joshua Mendoza, a cherished husband, father, son, and brother, passed away earlier than anyone could’ve ever expected on June 2, 2025, in Post, Texas. He was Born on November 19, 1979, in Lubbock, Texas, to John and Francisca Mendoza. Joshua filled the lives of all who knew him with warmth and joy. In 1998 he graduated from Frenship High School.

His love for football, particularly for the Green Bay Packers and the Texas Tech Red Raiders, was well-known and often celebrated during game days surrounded by his loved ones. Joshua also enjoyed watching movies, but his greatest joy in life was spending time with his family, ensuring that his children always came first.
