Joseph Rousch Obituary
March 27, 1946 - January 3, 2025
Joseph Frederick Rousch SR "Freddy", 78 years of age passed away from cancer on January 3, 2025, at his home in Chester, VA with his loving family by his side. Freddy was born March 27, 1946, in Cumberland, VA to the late Joseph Theodore Rousch and Pauline Ingle Rousch. Freddy married the love of his life Martha Louise Owen July 31, 1966, and together they had two children Joseph Frederick Rousch JR and Michael Brandon Rousch. Freddy owned and operated his business Lawrence Truck Service in Richmond, VA for 33 years where he met many loyal customers that became friends over those years. To have known Freddy was to love him. He was the most caring husband, father, poppy and friend. He would offer a helping hand to anyone he ever met. Freddy enjoyed going hunting, fishing, family cookouts, telling stories, working on tractors and many other projects that he accumulated over the years. Freddy and his son Michael were able to start and finish one project that meant the most to him over the last 30 years, his 1958 Chevrolet Fleetside pickup doing a complete frame off restoration during this last year. The family of Freddy would like to thank Dr. Peter Miller MD, and Dr. Purvi Shah MD for their special care that they've provided him over the last several years. We also appreciate Dr. Reginald Mason MD for his positivity and assisting the family with numerous questions. We would like to thank the entire medical team and staff for keeping our loved one fighting the hardest battle he ever had to face. Thank you all from the Rousch Family.

I´m so sorry to learn that Freddy passed away. He was a great man, always smiling. I knew him from when he used to come in Dolan International and get parts, I also knew Mike, his son and later met his son Joey and his wife from working at another place. They are all such nice people. Prayers and hugs sent to the family.
