Joshua Michael Wilson

JOSHUA MICHAEL WILSON November 4, 1979 ~ March 13, 2016 "Son, brother, husband, father, teacher, and friend." Joshua Michael Wilson, age 36, was born in Vancouver, WA on Nov. 4, 1979. He passed away from a brain tumor, Sun., March 13, 2016, peacefully at home surrounded by family. Josh grew up in the Vancouver School District attending Felida, Alki, and Columbia River High School. He graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelor's in Education. He returned to the school district as a teacher at Marshall, where he made his career teaching fourth and fifth grades. Josh was an outdoorsman, an avid reader, and so much more. He was a smart mouth, quick on his feet, and could make anyone laugh. He was kind and sensitive and would go above and beyond to help anyone in need. He was a lumberjack teddy bear. Josh was deeply committed to his wife and daughters. After being diagnosed, Josh squeezed every opportunity out of life to make lasting memories with his family. The girls will most remember his silliness, belly laughs, and bone crushing bear hugs. Josh is survived by his wife, Alyssa Wilson; daughters, Ainsley (4) and Aisla (2); mother, Constance Wilson; sisters, Abby White (Kennedy) and Rachael Honsinger (Travis); and countless loving family and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Craig Wilson. A celebration of Josh's life will be held Fri., March 25th from 6-9p.m. at the Clark County Event Center, Hall B. Families are welcome and plaid attire is encouraged.
