Joshua Adam Weisenberger

A wonderful father, son, and brother.  Josh was a driven, strong willed, incredibly hard worker, with a passion for helping others.  Most recently working for Mark Haynes Construction as a heavy equipment operator.  As a former athlete, Josh actively carried on a family tradition of faithful support with his own children, of Western Reserve athletics, following everything from track and field, basketball, football, and volleyball, to being a “dance dad”. 

Josh also served his country proudly as part of the United States/Ohio Army National Guard where he earned several awards and medals and was active in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He was a member of the Vermilion Amvets and Wakeman Eagles and an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan.
