Joshua J. Richards, 25, of Green Bay, was tragically taken from us, his family and many friends on Dec. 9, 2013.
Josh graduated from Gillett High School in 2006 and from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College-Sturgeon Bay in 2009. Josh was loved by so many and enjoyed his life to the fullest. He was a member of the Green Bay Blackjack football team and was involved in competitive body building. This kind, witty and generous soul believed that we should always work hard and help others. He was a shining example of that by giving the ultimate gift of life by donating his organs so others could continue to live on.
Josh is survived by his mother, Jackie (Michael) Pische, of Gillett; his father, James Richards, of Brookfield; a sister, Vicky Richards, of Oconto Falls; two nephews and a niece, Ayden, Fisher and Leigha Bigelow, of Oconto Falls; aunt and uncle, Linda and Paul Smentek, of Cecil; a cousin, Bobby, of Cecil; and many friends.
A memorial gathering in Josh’s honor will be held on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013, at Classics Restaurant and Lounge at W6026 Lake Drive, Shawano. Please join his family in remembering the great times they had with Josh starting at 2 p.m. through the end of the Green Bay Packers game, the way he would have wanted it.
In lieu of flowers, memorial funds are being established.
Swedberg Funeral Home in Shawano is assisting the family with the arrangements.
