Joshua Lee Dietderich

Joshua Lee Dietderich passed away on September 11, 2026.

Joshua was a kind, big-hearted soul who cared deeply for everyone around him. He had an incredible love for his family and friends and would do anything he could to help the people he loved. His unforgettable laugh could make anyone smile, and his joy and silly sense of humor brought light to so many lives.

Joshua is survived by his sister, Melissa Temple; his mother, Donna Dietderich; and his many beloved family members and friends who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Though Joshua's life was cut far too short, the love he gave and the memories he created will never be forgotten. He was an incredible soul who touched more lives than he ever realized.

Bubba, we will miss you more than words can say. We love you so much. Rest easy, brother. May your joy and unforgettable laugh continue to live on through all the wonderful memories we shared.

A celebration of life will be held in October, with details to be announced.

A GoFundMe has been created to help cover funeral expenses. Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing the fundraiser, would be deeply appreciated.
