Joshua Aaron Crites

December 11, 2001 - February 2, 2021

Joshua Aaron Crites, known as “Joshy” and “Joshishua” by those closest to him, was killed in the early morning of Tuesday, February 2nd, 2021. He was nineteen, and the beloved son of Joshua L. and Michelle Crites, as well as the cherished brother of Tiara Crites. He is loved and will be missed by his entire extended family. It’s difficult to quantify a life in words which do it justice: there are simultaneously too few options and too many, and despite best attempts, no combination seems to be the right one. His loss leaves an empty space in the lives and hearts of those who have survived him, his favorite movie still remains. Within it, there is a quote which does contain a few of the right words for a time like this: “Yeah, well the days of me forgetting are over, and the days of me remembering have just begun.” The days of our remembering have begun. We all love you so much and we will never forget you, Buddy.
