Joshua S. Lengel, 42, passed away on Thursday, May 29, 2025. God gave parents - Lisa and Stephen Lengel - the perfect, most beautiful boy when Josh entered their lives on February 17, 1983, in Alamogordo, New Mexico. He was a much beloved son, brother, and friend to so many in his community. Josh was a 2004 graduate of Wabash High School and was an active member of Bachelor Creek Church. Christmas brought Josh an abundance of joy. From the music, to the lights, to opening presents, everything about the holiday brightened Josh’s world. He enjoyed listening to any kind of music, especially oldies. Visiting zoos and seeing the giraffes and horses always put a bright smile on his face. He loved anything that had to do with Mickey Mouse. Josh was as sweet as can be. He taught those around him so much about love and life. Above all else, Josh loved his family with all his heart. He will be dearly missed by all of them. Josh is survived by his parents, Lisa and Steve Lengel; siblings, Maggie (Dan) Ryggs, Katie (Jon) Williams, Greg (Marcye) Lengel, Evette (Nick) Honeycutt, Rashell (Jon) Kellerman, Ali Lengel, Amber Patton, Brianna Lengel, Crissi, Cody, Abby, Libby, Sam, Katie J., and Piper. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Donald and Mary Lengel and Bill and Sally Howard. A Celebration of Life will be held at Bachelor Creek Church of Christ, 2147 IN-15, Wabash, Indiana, 46992, on Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 2:30PM.
