It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Joshua Stephen Houge, following unexpected health complications.
Joshua leaves behind his beloved 14-year-old son, who is now facing the unimaginable loss of his father. No child should ever have to carry the weight of planning a parent's funeral. Because of his young age, Joshua's former wife and longtime friend, Esmeralda Houge, has lovingly stepped in to make the necessary arrangements and help their son through this incredibly difficult time.

The total cost of Joshua's funeral services is $8,900, and the family is reaching out for support to help provide Joshua with the respectful farewell he deserves. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward covering these funeral expenses.
If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please consider sharing this fundraiser with others. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more than words can express during this time.
On behalf of Joshua's family, thank you for your compassion, generosity, and for helping honor his memory while supporting the son he loved so deeply.
