Joshua Smey Obituary

Beloved son of June and Peter Smey, he was the brother of Kim Wildman of Hanover and Michael Pantano of Kingston; brother-in-law to Phil Wildman; and uncle of Ryan, Anthony and Matthew Wildman. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of friends. Born and raised in Pembroke, he was a graduate of Silver Lake Regional High School, class of 2004. Josh was an avid Boston sports fan and a lifelong player and coach on many local hockey and softball teams. His passion and dedication to local kids and promotion of sports will forever be remembered. He built a successful contracting business, Smey Painting and Remodeling, and served on the Pembroke Housing Authority. Josh was always there with a beaming smile on his face and a helping hand for anyone who needed it. He will be greatly missed by all.

Josh did major repairs on our home in Marshfield over the summer and fall of 2016. He became a good and trusted friend. He helped us prepare our home to sell in June 2017. We are deeply, deeply saddened to learn that Josh is gone. He truly was a hard working, compassionate, fun loving guy.

It's hard to believe that someone so young could have left us so soon, leaving behind so much love and laughter in his wake. Just looking at his photo makes me smile and cry at the same time.
He touched our lives in ways that won't be forgotten.

Josh, I don't want to say goodbye, none of this feels real to me. I am going to miss that charming smile, your never-ending drive to achieve, and endless love for all the people in your life. You lived every day to fullest and taught me some amazing things along the way. From the first day we met and all the time in between, I will never forget you Josh. You have forever left a significant mark on my life. I love you so much, rest peacefully.

He was a very nice young man whom I waited on at the bank he used. He always came in the a HUGE SMILE and a bit of a story about what he was doing. I will miss his sweet smile and positivity that he had.
