Joshua “Josh” P. Ward
Joshua “Josh” P. Ward Joshua “Josh” P. Ward passed away on June 18, 2022, at the age of 47. He is survived by his loving parents, John and Shirley Ward; brother, John and his wife, Theresa; brother, Joe, brother, Jim and his wife, Chelsea; sister, Jennifer and her husband, Paul; nieces: Jordan, Alexi, Jessie and Maddie; and his nephew, Jack. Josh grew up in Fredo-nia, N.Y., and graduated as a registered nurse from Jamestown Community College. Josh held numerous jobs through the years, with his most recent and favorite being at 3HC - Home Health and Hospice Care where he cared for and formed personal con-nections with every patient as if they were his own family member, and for that they were crazy about him. To know Josh was to adore him. With a per-sonality as large as his booming laugh, whenever you’d hear his name, you’d immediately smile because you knew what was to come next would make you smile in turn. Josh was an entertainer, a friend who would always have your back, he was protective, honest and direct, and a motivator to those who needed a boost. Whereas most of us tend to stick in our little friend groups, Josh was a friend to all and if he loved you, he wasn’t afraid to let you know. Whether it was fre-quent visits to see his parents, watching his favor-ite sports with his buddies, sending humorous videos and texts to his family throughout the day, or putting aside the time to check on and encourage his nieces and nephew in their lives, he would do all this in the loud and awesome way that was unique to just him. You will be missed by all Josh! Josh will be remembered in a private family service where his ashes will be spread, along with the ashes of his beloved dog, Narco. If later a public celebration of life is arranged, then word will be spread. If you would like to ex-press your sympathy, we know Josh would have wanted to help others, so we encourage donations to be given to 3HC - Home Health and Hospice Care in Josh’s honor at www.3HC.org/donate.
