Obituary of Joshua Michael Anderson

November 5, 1993 - June 30, 2013

It is with great sorrow that the family of Josh Anderson announces his passing at the age of 19. Josh was never known to take up much space in a conversation, but what he did say he meant and it usually made you laugh. Josh loved the outdoors and spent all his free time fishing, hunting, dirtbiking, snowmobiling, and hiking. Hockey was a love of his until he discovered hunting and snowmobiling and those quickly took over his fall and winters. He was involved in the Wasa and District 4-H club from the age 6 until he was 16. 4-H instilled many values in Josh that he carried with him throughout his life.

Josh never did anything half-way, he lived every minute to the fullest. He was always there in an instant to lend a hand to anyone that needed help.

Josh is lovingly remembered by: his parents Sandie and Mike Anderson; sister Cassie Anderson (Brett); grandparents Gus and Tina Fiorentino; aunts and uncles Georgia (Randy) Kambietz and their children Devon (Angie), Jordie (Samara) Kambietz and their son Parker, and Kristi (son Leland) Kambietz, Jill Green(Jeff), Jim Fiorentino (Connie and her daughters Sydney and Lauryn) and Jim's children Sarah (Colin) Sinclair and their children Mateo and Mila, Tyler Fiorentino (Shayla) and their children Carter and Cayden, Chris(Dave) Claypool and their children Jessica and Riley Claypool; Great-Grandma Angela DeSantis; Special Cousins Mark (Joan) Bostock, Kendall, and Josh's "brother in life" Bryce. Josh also leaves behind many more loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends than one could ever wish for.

Josh was predeceased by grandparents, Gwen Green and Gavin Anderson.

A Celebration of Josh's life will take place at 11:00 am on Saturday, July 6, 2013 at the Columbo Lodge, 2550 8th Ave S, Cranbrook, BC. A private interment will take place at a later date.
