Joshua Ian Union, a beloved son, grandson, nephew, and cousin. He was an artist, who loved the art of anime, a musician who played the piano well, a movie buff who loved imitating Eddie Murphy's laugh, and a soul who dared to dream. Joshua professed his love for Christ at an early age and kept his bible nearby. He leaves behind his mother, Cheryl Blackwell; aunt and uncle, Climetine and Frank Clayburn; aunts, Sylvia Parker; and Dale Hill; first cousins, Walter Allen Seals; Kendra Price; Thomas Parker; Kyle Morri; and Gabrielle Morris; second cousins, Isaiah Bailey; Emma Seals; Micah Gonzales; Quentin Seals; and even more family and friends. His father, Henry Union; and grandmother, Chestine Morris; both preceded him in death. Visitation held on Monday September 29, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at Lawrence A. Jones & Sons Funeral Chapel 1800 East Linwood Blvd. KCMO 64109. Interment: Forest Hill Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Lawrence A. Jones & Sons Funeral Chapels.
