Nault, Jr. He moved to Colebrook, NH with his family in junior high, and graduated from Colebrook Academy in 2004. Following high school Joshua moved back to Manchester and began working as a tradesman. He eventually began a career installing fire suppression systems and was a foreman for Meridian Fire Protection for the past six years. Joshua's pride and joy in life were his two children Ryder and Alexandria. Nothing brought him more happiness than spending time with them and making them smile. Outside of being a father, Josh liked challenging himself by mastering new skills and was capable in many trades including roofing, carpentry, plumbing and general construction. He enjoyed sharing his knowledge and skills with friends and family and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Josh was a devoted pool player involved in many competitive leagues, competing out of both the Workmen's Club and Club Canadian. He was a mixed martial arts fanatic, valued softball team member, nature enthusiast and analytical thinker. Known by many as outgoing, loyal and deeply charming; Joshua possessed an easy charisma which drew people in. His smile and generous spirit will be missed by all whose lives he touched.
