It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joshua Scott Sleider at the age 32 on October 22, 2026. Josh is survived by his beloved wife, Allie, their son, Carter and their Niece Jaycie. The youngest son of Scott and Cheryl. Brother to Sarah (Paul), Daniel (Jennifer), and Matthew (Mellissa). He is preceded in death by his brother Jacob. Josh cherished his nieces Adalyn, Octavia, Skylar, Penelope, Mikayla, Macie, Rylee, and his nephews Hendrix, Myles and Giovanni. His long time best friend, Ian. 

Above all else, Josh loved his family. He was an incredible husband to his wife, Allie, and together, they built a life filled with love, memories, and dreams for the future. When their son, Carter, was born, Josh became an even more incredible version of the man he already was. Carter was his entire world, and being his dad was one of the greatest joys of his life. The love Josh had for his son was immeasurable, and his family will forever cherish the bond they shared and the memories they made together.

When he wasn't working as a truck driver, Josh loved being outdoors and making memories doing the things he enjoyed most. Whether he was fishing, camping, hunting, or out on the boat, he treasured the time spent with the people closest to him. It was never just about what he was doing, but about the people he was doing it with. Those moments, both big and small, will be held close by the people who were lucky enough to share them with him.

Josh will be remembered for his enormous heart, his hardworking nature, his loyalty, and the way he always made himself available to help others. He was a loving husband, a devoted father, a cherished son and brother, and an uncle who will be deeply missed by his nieces and nephews. The impact he made on the lives of those around him cannot be measured, and the love he gave will continue to live on through the people he leaves behind.

Though his time here was far too short, the love Josh gave, the memories he created, and the lives he touched will never be forgotten. He will be missed more than words could ever express and loved for the rest of their lives.
