Josh R. Hartle's Obituary
Josh R. Hartle departed this world unexpectedly on Friday, August 25, 2023. He was born on September 8, 1991, in Lorain, Ohio, and spent his entire life in the community he cherished. Josh was a proud graduate of Marion L. Steele High School, class of 2010.
Although he could be somewhat shy, Josh possessed an extraordinary heart that touched the lives of everyone he met. His warm and friendly smile was a beacon of comfort and reassurance, making him someone anyone could rely on as a trusted friend. Josh's compassion and kindness were a testament to his character, and he was always there to lend a helping hand or a listening ear.
Josh was a true wizard in the world of technology, particularly when it came to computers. His brilliance in IT was unparalleled, and he was the go-to guy for family and friends with tech questions. No problem was too complex for him to tackle, and he had an uncanny ability to figure out any technological puzzle.
Beyond his tech prowess, Josh had a passion for culinary arts. He was a great cook who loved experimenting with new recipes to create delicious dishes that brought people together. His gatherings were filled with laughter, good food, and cherished memories.
Josh had a deep love for animals, especially dogs. He understood the unique bond between humans and their furry companions, and he welcomed every opportunity to share his affection with his four-legged friends.
Josh's sudden departure leaves a void that can never be filled. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, brilliance, and unwavering friendship that will be remembered for generations to come.
