Joshua Stricklett, born July 15, 1976, passed away peacefully on September 18, 2025. He was surrounded by his faithful companion Anna Martin and his sisters on the day he went to be with our Lord.
Joshua was the beloved son of Peter (deceased) and Beverly Stricklett (Tresch) and brother to Carmen (Crites), Michael, Christopher, Barbara (Courie), Leonard, Jason and Rebecca (Sarno) and uncle/friend to many. He will be remembered by all of us for his fun loving and caring ways, particularly his love for Charlotte who lovingly called him her Papa.
His favorite hobbies were tending his bees, flint knapping with his best friend and brother, Chris, and building Lego kits. He spent his working career honing his carpentry skills and many of us will have pieces of his artistry and craft live on in our homes as a reminder of his ability.
While we are all saddened that he did not get to achieve all of his dreams in this life, such as flying his own plane to his home in Florida we are sure that he is able experience things beyond his wildest dreams with our Lord.
