Joshua
Michael
Burns

July 8, 1982 — January 20, 2026

Beloved son, brother, friend, and adventurer.
His story lives on.

His courage was a quiet force. He lived not just for himself, but for the safety, joy, and profound love of everyone lucky enough to stand beside him. This is his story.

“May we remember him for his curiosity, his kindness, his quiet humility, his unwavering loyalty, and the adventurous spirit that made him uniquely Josh.”
