Joshua J. "Josh" Ramsey, 30, formerly of New Buffalo, passed away on August 1, 2025, at his home in North Liberty, IN. Arrangements have been entrusted to Sommerfeld Chapel & Cremation Services. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, August 8, at 12 PM at Sommerfeld Chapel, 15 N. Barton St., New Buffalo, with Pastor Vic Prietto officiating. Burial will follow at Pine Grove Cemetery. Friends may visit with the family one hour prior to the service. Memorial contributions may be made to The National Park Foundation.

Born on December 11, 1994, in Berrien Springs, Michigan, Josh was the cherished son of Jeffery Ramsey and Lisa Jackson. He graduated from New Buffalo High School in 2014 and went on to build a dedicated career at MonoSol Manufacturing's Duneland Facility in Portage, Indiana. A proud member of the Union Teamsters Local 142, Josh brought a strong work ethic and integrity to everything he did.

Josh had a deep love for the outdoors. Whether he was on his motorcycle, hunting, fishing, or kayaking, nature brought him peace and joy. At home, he took pride in his small homestead, where he raised chickens. He was also an avid collector of arrowheads and vintage glass bottles - always seeking beauty in history and the world around him. Above all, he treasured time with his family, especially his beloved nephews, who looked up to him with admiration. His Christian faith was a guiding light in his life, and he lived it proudly and openly.

Josh is survived by his father, Jeffery (Bonnie) Ramsey; siblings, Kim (Mike) Pope of New Buffalo, Christina Vaughn of Elkhart, Amanda Ramsey of New Buffalo, Jessica (Brandon) Pagels of Michigan City, IN, Nathan (Marisa) Ramsey of Muskegon, April (Kyle) Riordan of New Buffalo, Joseph Nolan of Bourbonnais, IL, and Katie Kriner of Kalamazoo; numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins; and beloved four-legged children, Bob & Brutus. He was preceded in death by his mother, Lisa Jackson; brother, Mathew Ramsey; and grandparents, Robert & Barbara Ramsey, Joseph Jackson, and Nellie Hernandez.
