Obituary
Age 32, passed away on Monday June 1, 2020. Josh was born in Kalamazoo on November 3, 1987, the son of Jerald Edward Aubuchon and Penny Jo (Morse) Miller. He was a graduate of Comstock High School where he enjoyed playing football. Josh also liked fishing, listening to music, being outside in the sun, and going for short walks. Nothing was more important to him than his family, and no one in his family was more important to him than his son, Isaiah, who survives him. They loved playing outside together, building forts and doing anything that would put a smile on Isaiah’s face. Josh was a sweet guy and would give anyone the shirt off his back, or his last dollar if needed. He had been employed by 7-Up for many years and had also worked for his stepdad in construction. Josh enjoyed doing odd jobs here and there. Besides his son, Isaiah, he is survived by his mother, Penny Jo Miller; father, Jerry (Jen) Aubuchon; brothers, Justin (Ashley Tucker) Morse and Tyler Aubuchon; sister, Jasmine (Jeremy McWilliams) Miller; step-sisters, C’sandra Miller and Jacqueline Morgan; grandparents, Terry and Pam Morse, Sue (Jack Clark) Morse, and Fred and Patricia Aubuchon; step-grandparents, Cheryl Gavin, Russel Ruthruff and Jerry and Linda Miller; and several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Josh was preceded in death by his stepfather, JayDee Miller.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Josh’s family during this very difficult time. Josh was a very kind and considerate person. His eyes would always light up when his son, Isaiah walked into the room. The two of them had a very special bond. You were taken way to soon Josh. You will be deeply missed by everyone that knew you.
Josh was the best father to my nephew and our family couldn’t have asked for a more kind-hearted, fun-loving man to help raise Isaiah. He was a genuine guy with a positive attitude and he will be incredibly missed by all of us. Our memories of him will be shared with Isaiah as he grows so that he will always remember who his father is. We are very blessed to have had Josh share a big part of our lives and will always cherish and keep that close to our hearts. Our thoughts are with his family in this incredibly hard time.
I’m so sorry to hear about your families loss. You’ve always been a great young man. All the memories of you coming to our house and spending time hanging out with Jessica Hamilton and Douglas Russell. Jessica always thought she was one of the boys. You will be missed. God bless you and your whole family.
I’m so thankful to have known Josh for a season and a reason. He was so thoughtful, articulate, intelligent, and analytical. Making his family proud, improving himself, and walking in his faith were always at the forefront of Josh’s thoughts. I hope peace comes quickly for his family and that his son grows up knowing all the wonderful attributes about his father and how fiercely he was loved.
Josh was a really great kid. never felt like he looked at us as step grandparents. he would do any thing for any one always there to help. so loving . he is so greatly missed.
Dearest Josh, I know it has taken me a long time to say how I feel. There aren’t words that can replace having a kind, caring, and loving Grandson like you. Your family misses you and just can’t get over the fact you are no longer with us. Especially Isaiah, Your Mom, Sister, and Brother. Then there are all your cousins, and Aunts & uncles. You do have a big family. Well, I can only hope you are at peace now. Love your Grandma Morse
