Joshua Nance was born to Tameaka Nance and Robert Cameron on August 10, 1992. As a child, he was a bundle of energy, always full of life and laughter. With his infectious smile and playful nature, Joshua had a way of lighting up any room he walked into. Joshua was naturally athletic and loved playing sports with his family and friends. As a child, he discovered a passion for wrestling and boxing, which he enthusiastically pursued.
Joshua also had a passion for cooking. He enjoyed displaying his culinary knowledge to his family. In addition to his love of food, Joshua was an avid traveler with particular affinity for beaches and loved nothing more than exploring new places. In his free time, Joshua enjoyed reading, especially fantasy novels. He was an avid animal lover. Joshua was particularly fond of lizards, especially his bearded dragon, Polo. When not spending time with family and friends, Joshua could be found cleaning as he was a bit of a germaphobe.
Despite his many interests, Joshua was, first and foremost, afamily man. He treasured his relationships with his loved ones and made a point of spending quality time with each of them. Joshua had a deep faith in God, which he leaned on in times of hardship. He was a motivator, a listening ear, and an advocate. Ever the supporter, he encouraged his siblings to stand by their choices and always ot be themselves.
Joshua was also a devoted caregiver to his grandfather, whom he affectionately caled "Papa" He devoted countless hours to ensuring that Papa was comfortable and wel cared for, even when it meant sacrificing his time and energy. Joshua's love for his family was evident ni everything he did and was a motivating factor in his life. Joshua's passing was a profound loss to everyone who knew him.
