Joshua Glenn Thomas

Joshua Thomas, our beloved Skunkle Uncle.

Josh was born on January 13, 1982 and went home to his momma on June 23, 2026.

He is survived by his older brothers, Ike, Matt (Melissa), his twelve nieces and nephews, and a great niece and nephew.

If you knew Josh, you knew there was nobody else quite like him. Finding the words to honor his memory has not come easy.  He was the most outgoing, loving, and hilarious person you could ever hope to meet. He never met a stranger, and if he met you once, he would remember you forever.

For the last three months, Josh carried the heavy grief of losing the love of his life, his mom, JoNell. Their bond was something special, and anyone who knew them could see the deep love they shared. While our hearts ache at him going home, we find comfort in knowing that he is no longer grieving. He has been reunited with his mom in Heaven, where we can only imagine the joy of that reunion. I guarantee he had a shiny new router waiting for him.

Josh was also deeply loved by his two older brothers. When Josh came into their lives, they learned from an early age what it meant to love and protect someone fiercely. They didn’t leave him behind or treat him differently—they brought him along for the ride. As kids, they took him everywhere they could and some places they shouldn’t have. As adults, that never changed. The bond they shared was built on loyalty, patience, laughter, and a love that never wavered. Josh was blessed to have them, and they were blessed to have him.

Josh’s life was a testament to perseverance, faith, and unconditional love. He taught us that a joyful spirit can overcome incredible obstacles and that a heart devoted to God can shine brightly through any circumstance.

Josh lived life with a big personality, a big heart, and absolutely no filter. He could make you laugh until your stomach hurt, and if we’re being truthful, he had days where he used more colorful language than most people use in a lifetime. Somehow, whether he was making you laugh or telling it exactly how he saw it, you couldn’t help but love him. In Josh’s last days, he spent hours with his loved ones on the porch watching dump trucks, track hoes, and dozers yelling “Hip hip hooray”. That was Josh. Genuine, unforgettable, and completely himself.

A funeral service will be held at Cowboy Church in Greenwood at 11:00am on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Cremation is under the care of Lewis Funeral Chapel.
