On Saturday, December 31, 2022, Joshua Johnson died unexpectedly during a prolonged hospitalization. He was 45 years old. Born to Randy and Darlene Johnson on November 12, 1977. He grew up in Elmhurst, graduated from York High School and attended COD. He spent the last twenty years of his life in a wheelchair, but that never slowed him down. He embraced his disability and enjoyed motivating and inspiring others to do the same. Josh had many different jobs, but the one he loved the most was being a 911 dispatcher. He loved the fast-paced action and being the calm voice in the chaos. His co-workers, friends, and family will miss his quick wit, boisterous laugh, and contagious smile. He leaves behind the loves of his life: his wife, Jackie, his daughter, Hannah, and his dog, Tucker. He is survived by his mother, Darlene, his brother, Erik (Jill) Johnson, and their three children: Abigail, Madeline, and Nathaniel. Josh was welcomed home with open arms by his father, Randy, both sets of grandparents and his good friend, Fizz (Phil Leonard).
