Joshua Sheldon Snead

Josh graduated Choctaw High school in 2011 and continued his education for a small time at EOC Tech in Choctaw studying video game design. He was an avid sports fan, some of his favorites being the Oklahoma Sooners, Philadelphia Eagles and the OKC Thunder. He loved gaming, drawing, animals and the outdoors and was a good friend to many. He spent many nights watching UFC, loved watching Netflix, hanging out with family and teasing those around him. He absolutely adored his sister Maddie Hendricks and had an unbreakable bond with his cousin/brother Chris Henshaw. He battled hard with Muscular Dystrophy through the years, he had many painful surgeries and lot’s of periods of recovery, but always faced them with a sweet smile and a gentle spirit. He touched so many with his strength and perseverance that somehow made our own battles not so unbearable. He will be greatly missed by so many but that fierce attitude and adorable smile will never be forgotten. Even in pain he taught us to love each other without judgment, to keep fighting when times get tough and to always love without expectations. In our sadness we find comfort knowing that he is no longer in pain, he is free to do, without limitations and has nothing weighing him down. May you do all you’ve ever dreamed of our sweet angel!

He is survived by his father David Snead of Choctaw and step mother Lori Jones, his mother Shannon (Murphy) Hendricks of Choctaw and step father Steve Hendricks, sister Maddie Hendricks, grandparents Jimmie and Vickie Cooper, cousin/ brother Chris Henshaw and numerous uncles, aunts and cousins. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather Joseph Snead of Choctaw, Maternal “Pa Pa” James Murphy of Midwest City, Maternal “Grandma” Sandra Murphy of Midwest City and uncle Michael Murphy.
