Joshua (Josh) Lee Deal
FOREVER 21
June 11, 2002 – May 28, 2024
Valdese, North Carolina
Joshua “Josh” Lee Deal was a protector at heart—a steadfast and loving presence in the lives of his family and friends. From a young age, Josh showed a rare kind of selflessness, always putting others before himself. Whether it was ensuring his loved ones had what they needed or simply being there when times were tough, Josh’s caring nature knew no limits.
His family remembers him as someone who didn’t just love but loved deeply and wholeheartedly. He would do without, without hesitation, if it meant someone else could have more. That was the kind of person Josh was—giving, thoughtful, and endlessly compassionate.
But Josh was more than just a protector; he was the light in many lives, a source of comfort and warmth. His laugh could lift spirits, and his kind words could mend hearts. Whether sharing a quiet moment with family or being a supportive friend, Josh had a way of making everyone feel valued and loved.
Though his time here was far too short, the legacy of love, generosity, and care that Josh left behind will never fade. He is missed more than words can say, but the sweet memories of his love and kindness will live on forever.
