Together, they leave behind three incredible children: Deanna, Josh, and Kaylee, and a legacy of love that will continue to light up the lives of everyone they touched.

Maddie, their sweet and gentle 6-month-old Goldendoodle, was also an integral part of their family.

Joshua was a force of nature. Known for his powerful presence and unmatched ability to light up any room, his infectious laugh and quick wit were simply unforgettable. A true gearhead and Jeep enthusiast, Joshua had a deep passion for adventure, travel, and the great outdoors—always with Christina and their children by his side.

Joshua’s professional life was just as remarkable. With his sharp business acumen, he founded a telecommunications company and a thriving drone store, Multicopter Warehouse, which continues to flourish today. A tech-savvy genius, Joshua excelled with computers, drones, and all things mechanical. Geared by his mechanical mind, he was a natural problem-solver and innovator.

He was the glue that kept people together, ensuring that no one felt alone.

Above all else, Joshua’s greatest happiness came from the life he built with Christina and their children. He found joy in the simple moments, from family road trips to evenings spent laughing around the dinner table. His generosity knew no bounds, and he found purpose in helping others, often going out of his way to lend a hand.

Christina brought warmth and love to everyone she met. A devoted wife, mother, and friend, she embodied the heart of her family, keeping everything running seamlessly behind the scenes. Her cooking was legendary—a true expression of her love—and her home was always a welcoming haven for family and friends alike.

Family, Disney, and Jeeps were Christina’s passions, but it was the little moments that defined her: laughter over a shared joke, the sparkle in her eye as she planned a Disney adventure, or the pride she took in watching her children thrive. Christina’s energy was powerful yet gentle, grounding those around her with her calming presence. She had a sharp sense of humor, often quick to laugh at her own jokes, and a quiet but undeniable strength that inspired those who knew her.

Their shared passions—for adventure, for Jeeps, for building community—fueled their incredible journey. They worked side by side, not just in life’s big moments but in the everyday, ordinary ones that they turned into something extraordinary.

Maddie was a vital part of this beautiful partnership, always present with her wagging tail and loving eyes. Whether it was a road trip, a family gathering, or a quiet evening at home, Maddie’s presence made every moment even more special. Her gentle soul mirrored the love and unity that Joshua and Christina embodied, and she will be forever remembered as an irreplaceable part of their story.

Their legacy is one of unity, resilience, and boundless love. They taught their children the importance of togetherness, showing them how to face life’s challenges with courage and grace.
